Man accused of helping California fertility clinic bomber dies at federal detention center

Daniel Park, a Washington man who was charged in connection with the fertility clinic bombing in Palm Springs, Calif., last month, was found dead on Tuesday while at a federal detention center.

The man was accused of helping to plan and carry out the bombing of an American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic on May 17. The bombing was allegedly executed by 25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus, who was the only person killed in the blast. But at least four others were injured by the explosion.

Park was found unconscious at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, where employees attempted "life-saving measures." He was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, according to the New York Times. 

No cause of death has been given so far and no other inmate or employee at the facility was injured.

Federal prosecutors have claimed that Park, who was 32, held the same “anti-natalism" views that Bartkus did, which includes the belief that human procreation is unethical. Bartkus allegedly posted a 30-minute audio recording online before the bombing where he claimed he never gave his parents permission to give birth to him.

Bartkus stated that he targeted the IVF facility because he was angry that people were going the extra mile to bring life into the world, and that he himself was not a "life-addict."
