Died in custody
Name not reported
A doctor whose surname is garbled in the surviving newspaper text as 'Dost e' was killed during the 1866 New Orleans riot while he was held as a prisoner by police. The New-York Tribune reported testimony before an investigating commission describing his death, though the article gives no further detail about how it happened or where he was held. The text is too damaged to confirm his full name or the exact date of his death.
Cause of death, as reported: Killed by another person in custody
Reported by: investigating commission testimony as summarized in the New-York Tribune.
