Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation into the death of a man who died while in police custody, with initial findings showing external injuries but no signs of internal bleeding.
Police said they are awaiting the completion of laboratory tests to confirm the exact cause of death. The examination findings so far have not indicated internal haemorrhaging, though external injuries were noted on the deceased's body.
In line with standard procedure for deaths occurring in custody, the case has been referred to the Independent Police Conduct Commission for an independent review. The commission will assess whether proper protocols were followed during the man's time in custody.
The outcome of the laboratory analysis is expected to provide crucial information about the circumstances surrounding the death. Authorities have not disclosed further details pending the completion of these investigations and the commission's preliminary assessment.
