Miami Herald GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba -- A Navy criminal investigation has concluded that a Yemeni man found dead in the Guantánamo prison camps' psychiatric ward in June committed suicide, the detention center commander said Tuesday.
Navy Rear Adm. Tom Copeman declined to specify the method but said Mohammed Abdullah Saleh, 31, ``unfortunately but successfully committed suicide'' inside the prison camp's 12-cell Behavioral Health Unit on June 1.
The Yemeni had been described at the time as a long-committed hunger striker who had been held at this remote detention center since early 2002 on suspicion of ties to the Taliban.
The death had been listed as an ``apparent suicide'' soon after prison camp staff discovered him ``unresponsive and not breathing.'' Different accounts attributed the cause of death, alternately, to asphyxiation and a drug overdose. Saleh's body was returned to Yemen for burial the same week, after an autopsy.
