An autopsy on

disc losed severa l

sur face abras ions

which

he

obta ined

with in

the

f i r s t

few

days of

h is

inca r ce r a t ion . These abrasions were caused by

rough

t rea tment designed to

f r ighten and

d i so r i en t

the pr isoner .

Addi t iona l ly the autopsy found no evidence t ha t Rahman had

been

beaten to r tu r ed

poisoned,

s t rangled or smothered.

The

c l i n i c a l diagnos i s o f

death was determined to be hypothermia.

The pa tho log i s t based

his

conclusion on

the

fo l lowing f ac to r s :

b) 1)

o Rahman s ur ine had high catecholamine leve ls which i s

cons i s ten t with

hypothermic

deaths.

o Rahman was seen shiver ing for a

number o f

hours

immediately pr io r to his

death .

o

The

environment

in

which

he·was

housed

was

extremely

cold .

On

the

night of

h is

death,

the outs ide temperature

was

31

degrees Fahrenhei t

and

the pr i son f a c i l i t y

not

in su la ted .

o

Rahman

had

not eaten in approximate ly

36

hours . No

food

was

found

in

h is stomach dur ing the autopsy. Rahman s

glycogen l eve l s would have

been

deple ted . Glycogen i s a

fue l

source

used by

the

body to s tay warm.

o Rahman

was

unclothed from the

wais t

was

in

d i r e c t

contac t

with

the

cold
