He entered detention with serious preexisting health conditions, including advanced kidney disease requiring dialysis, respiratory disease, diabetes and anemia, and was hospitalized multiple times during his detention before being returned to the facility. Life-sustaining therapies were ultimately withdrawn after he developed complications from pneumonia and sepsis during his final hospitalization.
