67-year-old man died in custody: family questioned the need for detention in extreme weather and "false rescue"

As a result of the alleged theft of a $500-value mobile phone, the 67-year-old Liaoning Siddhartha Han Ice Chan was detained in the detention center. However, during the hot weather this summer, the unprecedented old man failed to get out of the high wall. On August 1, Han Ice Chan suddenly died at the second detention (woman detention) in Siddhartha. In the face of the abnormal death of his mother, his family recently spoke to the outside world, pointing directly to the lack of basic measures for heat reduction, delayed rescue and human control monitoring. At present, the family calls for the judicial authorities and relevant departments to intervene to examine the truth.

20 square meters of detention in the heat and the heat

On April 20, this year, the 67-year-old Han Ice Chan was seized by the police for taking a mobile phone from another person in the bus because of the "moment of confusion" in the bus, the phone was valued at 500 yuan, and the entire amount had been returned to the owner.

According to the family of Han, this was a minor and socially harmful offence. The family said that the elderly did not have any prehistoric disorders and whether their physical condition and criminal circumstances met the criteria for long-term detention was questionable. However, the elderly was eventually detained and detained in the women's detention facility in Siddhan.

According to the official early warning of the Liaoning Provincial Meteorological Bureau, from July 30 to 31, this year, the summit mountain has been at the highest temperature for two consecutive days between 35 ° C and 37 ° C, and the local area has even broken 37 ° C, and the body temperature exceeds 40 ° C.

However, according to the family, after reviewing the monitoring, it was learned that the incident room did not take effective heat reduction measures, and 20 people were crushed into the prison room of about 20 square meters, in which only a small fan heated.

The last 24 hours from the “eating down” to the life-level zero

According to the monitoring information transferred by the family, Han Ice Chan was still normal at noon the previous day, but by the afternoon of July 31, his body showed symptoms of sudden decline in eating, extreme mental illness, sleeping poor, and suspicious high-temperature stroke.

However, the prison did not provide medical assistance at first.

• August 1st morning: The elderly person can not sleep completely, can not take care of himself, there is a large stool disconnection, the body is in a serious state.
• 17:05: 120 emergency personnel arrived at the scene, finally confirmed that the elderly person's life is zero, and the custody declared his death.

The family believes that the custody under high temperature early warning failed to fulfill its responsibilities to ensure the safety of life of the detainees, their failure to work directly resulted in the death of the mother.

Family core concerns: medical relief, restricted surveillance and body inspection postponement

In addition to questioning the daily heat reduction measures, the family also suffered serious obstacles in the post-incident process, and raised several core doubts:

• Suspected of "false rescue" and corridor conspiracy: Families pointed out that 120 emergency personnel arrived in front of the scene, some of the images showed that the persons involved were suspected of "false rescue", and after the incident there were employees in the corridor suspected of "conspiracy".

• whether or not violence has been experienced in life: the family reflects that when viewing part of the limited surveillance, the elderly person has been treated in the detention facility with dragging, beating and other ill-treatment.
• the body examination has fallen into a stalemate, the defense of rights suffered "intestinal impairment": ten days after the incident, the family has officially complained and requested for a forensic body examination, but as of now the relevant procedure has not been advanced.

“We only demand the truth, only the law, only the justice.” “The family of the deceased is a disabled person, in the face of the difficulties of the “claims without doors” sent a painful appeal for help. Before the draft, the second custody of Siddhartha City and relevant authorities have not yet responded publicly to the matter.
