Italy: Moroccan dies trying to avoid detention. SZ, a 44-year-old Moroccan father-of-two, died on 12 January 2005 in a hospital in Messina (Sicily) to which he was flown from Lamezia Terme (Calabria) on 9 January. He had been transferred to the detention centre in Lamezia Terme after serving a five-year prison sentence for offences related to drug dealing. He was admitted in hospital on 7 December because he was suffering from strong stomach pains. In the hospital, witnesses claimed that he inflicted wounds on himself and jumped out of a window.
