Case Number: 2023-03346

Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 27-year-old “Middle Eastern” male that occurred at his place of residence.

The coroner’s office has identified the man as Hakim Manji of the state of Georgia.

Manner of Death: Accident

Cause of Death: Effects of Fentanyl

RIP HAKIM AKBAR MANJI (September 4, 1995 – March 27, 2023)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Monday at 4:37 p.m.

Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published in late August, presumably after the results of tox screening came back positive for the drug. This was an accidental overdose.

The decedent’s name appears to be Pakistani. We are logging this death as that of a South Asian / Desi instead of the medical examiner’s selection of Middle Eastern.

The government investigator in charge of this case is Jerry McKibben.
