The Star » Roma refugee complained of chest pain, Toronto inquest told:
“A Roma refugee who died of heart failure in immigration detention was thought to be faking chest pains to avoid his imminent deportation, a Toronto inquest has heard. A visibly frail Jan Szamko was spotted in the immigration holding centre on Rexdale Blvd., soiled in his own feces and urine, on Dec. 6, 2009, just hours before his scheduled removal flight. […] “I was explaining to him to stop the behaviour and ‘go with some dignity and clean up yourself,’ ” Canada Border Service Agency officer Steven Bean testified at Szamko’s inquest Monday. “If you don’t stop, you are going to be transferred to a jail. You are still going to be removed,” the border officer recalled telling Szamko.”
