Student forgotten in cell for 5 days will sue DEA
Los Angeles (CNN) -- A San Diego college student filed a legal claim Wednesday for damages suffered when he was left handcuffed and without food or water in a Drug Enforcement Administration holding cell for five days last month.
Chong drank his own urine to survive as his cries for help were ignored by federal agents and inmates in nearby cells, Iredale said.
"He began hallucinating sometime around the end of the second or start of the third day," Iredale said. "At some point, he wanted to kill himself because of pain."
Not knowing why he was being kept in the cell without food, water or a toilet for so long confused him, Iredale said.
He lost track of time in the dark cell, his lawyer said. "At the end, he just wanted to die because he was crazy."
He was rushed to a hospital, where he was kept in intensive care for two days, having been close to death from kidney failure, Iredale said.
