Hawaii crime boss dies of overdose in federal custody: medical examiner
Fox News
Michael Miske died of "toxicity of fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl," the medical examiner’s office said in a statement obtained by AP. The death appears to have been accidental.
Miske was found unresponsive at the Honolulu Federal Detention Center on Dec. 1. Efforts by staff and emergency medical responders failed to save him, the Bureau of Prisons said, according to the AP.
The Hawaiian crime boss was convicted of racketeering conspiracy, murder, and 11 other felony charges on July 18, a July 24 Justice Department press release said. Although his sentencing was originally scheduled for this November, the AP reports it was set to happen on Jan. 30.
