Jorge Garcia-Maldonado
Jorge Garcia-Maldanado, 40, died on April 30, 2013, while held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Eloy Detention Center in Eloy, Arizona. ICE said he died by hanging, using shoelaces tied to his top bunk, and classified it as a suicide. The agency's press releases said he had two routine medical screenings and did not seek medical or mental-health treatment. A 2015 report by The Arizona Republic, drawing on ICE press releases and autopsy reports, gave the same account and noted that his death came two days after another person's suicide at the same facility.
