WASHINGTON, Dec 16: A Yemeni who died in September at Guantanamo Bay committed suicide, the US military said on Saturday.

Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif, 32, died at the base on Sept 8 “of a self-induced overdose of prescription medication,” US SouthernCommand (Southcom) 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.”
