Fertility Clinic Bombing Suspect Dies in Custody

Daniel Park, a 32-year-old from Washington state, was found dead in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles after being arrested for aiding Guy Edward Bartkus in the May 17 car bombing of a Palm Springs fertility clinic. Park was accused of supplying 270 to 300 pounds of ammonium nitrate and assisting Bartkus in conducting explosive experiments and researching bomb-making techniques using AI chatbots. The bombing, classified as an act of domestic terrorism, killed Bartkus, injured four others, and devastated the clinic but did not harm any embryos. Authorities say Park and Bartkus connected online over shared anti-natalist or pro-mortalist beliefs. Park had fled to Poland after the attack but was extradited to the U.S. earlier in the month. The FBI and U.S. Marshals Service continue to investigate, and Park's cause of death has not been disclosed.
