Overview

  • Daniel Park was found unresponsive on June 24 at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles and was pronounced dead at a hospital after staff initiated life-saving measures.
  • Prosecutors allege Park shipped roughly 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate to Guy Edward Bartkus and arranged an additional 90 pounds of the explosive precursor used in the May 17 bombing.
  • The FBI has deemed the attack on the American Reproductive Centers clinic an act of domestic terrorism driven by anti-natalist and pro-mortalist ideology shared by Park and Bartkus.
  • The car bomb heavily damaged the Palm Springs clinic and injured four people, but all eggs, embryos and other lab materials remained intact.
  • The Federal Bureau of Prisons and FBI are investigating the cause of Park’s death, examining reports that he may have taken his own life in custody.
