A 57-year-old man held in pre-trial detention at a remand centre in Malé died on Tuesday morning – the second custodial death in less than a month.
Ahmed Lugman, the information officer of the Maldives Correctional Services, identified the deceased to local media as Adam Ali, from the island of Fenfushi in Alif Dhaalu atoll.
Ali fainted in his cell around 8:15am, Lugman said, and was rushed to the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital in about five minutes, where he was pronounced dead by doctors.
Both the cause of death and the charges he was facing are unclear. Lugman was not responding to calls at the time of publications.
