An Iranian man seeking asylum in Australia has been declared brain dead after an infected cut led to septicaemia, a refugee activist says.
Hamid Kehazaei, 24, had been in a detention centre on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.
The Iranian was transferred to the mainland for treatment last week but had a heart attack, the activist said.
Mr Kehazaei’s case follows the death of another Iranian in violence at the same centre in February.
