actually..the first doctor found the cause of death to be internal bleeding...which he subsequently dismissed as a result of sickle cell...even though the video clearly shows several blows to the abdomen and including knee shots

quote:

” A teenager who was beaten by guards in a state-run boot camp for juvenile delinquents died from internal bleeding caused by a blood disorder, not from injuries he may have suffered in the beating, a medical examiner reported”

Find “internal beeding” as a symptom of sickle cell death...

becuase I can find no listed case yet...

They all involve renal failure or cardiac arrest...not sudden internal bleeding..

Sudden pooling of blood in the spleen (splenic sequestration) can result in a very severe anemia and death. These /patients can develop shock and lose consciousness. Transfusion of blood and fluids can be critical if this occurs

This is from the site you noted and sounds suspiciously what tragically happened to the young lad.
