A Yemeni who died in September at Guantanamo Bay committed suicide, and his remains will be repatriated, the US military said Saturday.
Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif, 32, died at the base on September 8 “of a self-induced overdose of prescription medication,” US Southern Command said in a statement.
“The medical examiner concluded that the death was a suicide,” it added. “The medical examiner also concluded that acute pneumonia was a contributing factor in his death.”

At the time of his death, Latif had not been charged with a war crime or designated for prosecution, a military spokesman said.
