"Shah Alam was found dead on a Buffalo street in freezing temperatures five days after being dropped off by Border Patrol agents who had taken him into custody. Security camera footage shows him stepping out of a white van near a Tim Hortons outlet apparently after the store's doors were locked."
"The Erie County Medical Examiner's Office classified Shah Alam's death as a homicide, but the basis for that determination is not entirely clear. His death was caused by complications of a perforated duodenal ulcer, precipitated by hypothermia and dehydration."
"Classifying a death as a homicide requires proof that the death was due to an act or omission by another person. Homicides may include negligent acts or omissions, not just intentional or reckless acts."
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind 56-year-old Rohingya refugee, was found dead in Buffalo after being released by Border Patrol. He was dropped off near a coffee shop but was later discovered dead six miles away. The Erie County Medical Examiner classified his death as a homicide due to complications from a perforated duodenal ulcer, hypothermia, and dehydration. However, the classification requires proof of another person's involvement, which remains uncertain given the circumstances surrounding his death.
