Indigenous man dies in police custody in Northern Territory

An Indigenous man died in police custody in the Northern Territory on the same day as protests against the death of another Indigenous man, Kumanjayi White, in Alice Springs last month. The 68-year-old man, whose cause of death remains undetermined, was taken into protective custody after being intoxicated and unable to board a flight out of Darwin. Police are investigating it as a death in custody but have refused to comment on whether the family seeks an independent inquiry. Meanwhile, calls for the AFP to take over the investigation grew amid community concerns about police involvement.
