Bruno Dos Santos, a 25 year old Angolan man, died from unexpected natural causes at the Verne immigration removal centre in Dorset on 4 June 2014, an inquest jury found today.

His healthcare in the months leading up to his death was criticised today in a narrative verdict by the jury sitting at Dorchester County Court.
