Man arrested in connection to fertility center bombing in California dies in federal custody

A man charged earlier this month in relation to the fatal car bombing outside a California fertility clinic was discovered unresponsive on Tuesday morning at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles and was later declared deceased, as stated by federal officials.

Daniel Park, 32, was discovered unresponsive at approximately 7:30 a.m. on June 24, 2025, by staff at the administrative security facility. 

The Federal Bureau of Prisons reported that staff immediately initiated life-saving efforts and contacted emergency medical services. Park was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was subsequently pronounced dead.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Marshals Service have been informed. Authorities confirmed that no other inmates or staff were injured and that there was never any threat to the public.

The FBI has classified the bombing as an act of domestic terrorism, citing the suspects’ adherence to a radical ideology known as “pro-mortalism,” which views human reproduction as morally wrong. Prosecutors say the suspects may have targeted the clinic to destroy stored human embryos.
