Law office says defense lawyer’s death not linked to Guantánamo
Source: The Miami Herald
An Ohio public defender who was part of a team that represents Guantánamo detainees died last week but had not been to the base for months, his office said Friday.
Federal Public Defender Andy P. Hart, 38, was among several dozen lawyers who urged Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel to intervene in the ongoing hunger strike at the U.S. prison camps in southeast Cuba in a letter dated March 14.
He died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot April 25.
His colleagues said in a statement that his death is a “tragedy” that “is unrelated to Guantánamo or to his other work in our office.”

every time someone says, "self-inflicted" it's a big red flag.
Guantanamo is a blot on whatever remains of this country's honor, which is practically non-existent, anyway. One of our many gulags around the world.
"...with liberty and justice for all", indeed. 
ETA> His office says that the last time he visited Gitmo was in January. I suppose it's poossible that what he saw there, that he couldn't disclose because of atty./client privilege, caused him to take his own life. People kill themsleves for less.
