By skyforbes When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported Chinese immigrant Chaofeng Ge’s death in custody in western Pennsylvania on Aug. 6, it said he was found the day before, hanging in a shower stall with a cloth tied around his neck. It made no mention of additional bindings that were on hands and feet.
But on Wednesday, Chaofeng’s family in Queens filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court to obtain records that may explain why he was found with his hands and feet bound.
David Rankin, an attorney representing Ge’s older brother, Yanfeng Ge, said the additional details came from an autopsy that the Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, coroner conducted. Chaofeng’s death certificate lists suicide by hanging as the cause of death, but the autopsy gave no clear explanation of how this was possible, he said.”
