According to a statement from the national police, the man was one of two individuals arrested in Yoff by the Central Office for the Repression of Illicit Drug Trafficking (OCRTIS), as part of an anti-drug operation that resulted in the seizure of 28 crack rocks.

Alerted, firefighters intervened and attempted to resuscitate him before pronouncing him dead. The autopsy concluded that the death resulted from an acute subcircumferential myocardial infarction, associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiac liver.
Toxicological and histopathological samples were also taken to complement the medical investigations.
The investigation is ongoing, according to the national police, who offered their condolences to the family of the deceased.
