Ottawa says it is seeking answers in the death of 49-year-old Canadian citizen Johnny Noviello, a convicted drug trafficker who died in U.S. immigration enforcement custody on June 23 in Miami, Florida. 
Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand said in a June 26 statement that “Canadian consular officials are urgently seeking more information from US officials,” and added that “in order to respect the family’s privacy, further details will not be provided at this time.”
