Australian media has refered to him as "Hamid Kehazaei". His family, however, says his name is "Hamid Khazayi"; An Iranian asylum seeker who suffered a heart attack after developing septicaemia from a cut to his foot sustained at the Manus Island detention centre in Papua New Guinea. Almost simultaneously, confidential internal reports and the existence of a secret unit at the centre were exposed in the media.
