A Palestinian health official said on Thursday that the results of an autopsy on a Palestinian minister who died in a West Bank protest yesterday showed that his death was not normal.
Ziad Abu Ein, a Palestinian Minister, died yesterday shortly after an Israeli border policeman shoved and grabbed him by the throat during a protest in the occupied West Bank.
His death was caused by a coronary occlusion, brought on by stress, the official said.
He added that the autopsy revealed the presence of bruises around his neck and the thyroid cartilage.
