Died in immigration detentionHeld by ICE
Alberto Linde-Cepero
Alberto Linde-Cepero, 63, died on December 20, 2003, while held in immigration detention at the Columbia Care Center in Columbia, South Carolina. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement listed the cause of death as a brain tumor, which it spelled calioblastoma. The agency's report is the only account of the death we have, so the cause and circumstances rest on its claim alone.
Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness. ICE said he died of a brain tumor (glioblastoma), a natural illness, and no source in the accounts disputes this.
Reported by: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (the agency that held him). The only account of how this person died comes from the agency that held him.
