Prison inmate suspected of being a Palm Springs bomb co-conspirator reportedly leaped to his death from a balcony, according to sources.
Title: Feds Lose Suspected Fertility Clinic Bomber Co-Conspirator to Suicide in Los Angeles Detention Center
Hey there!
So, as we all know, the shocking events unfolded in Los Angeles on June 24, 2025, when Daniel Park, a 32-year-old Washington state resident, tragically took his own life inside the Metropolitan Detention Center.
Park had found himself in hot water, accused of providing material support to the notorious bomber behind the May 17 tragedy at the American Reproductive Centers in Palm Springs—Guy Edward Bartkus.
I'm sure you remember, the blast claimed Bartkus' life and hurt four others, causing a devastating debris field spanning 250 yards.
In the weeks prior to the attack, sources say, Park shipped approximately 180 pounds of the wicked stuff: ammonium nitrate, a yucky chemical often used to create homemade bombs.
And get this – just days before the Palm Springs attack, authorities claim Bartkus was websurfing, looking up how to make fierce explosions using ammonium nitrate and fuel.
The FBI investigated Park's ideology, which appears to have been similar to Bartkus', as their conversations online hinted towards extreme political beliefs dating back to 2016.
Law enforcement sources characterize Bartkus as an antinatalist— you know, folks who think people shouldn't exist.
FBI agents swooped in on Park's residence in Kent, Washington, after the bombing, seizing six packages of ammonium nitrate sent from Park in Seattle to Bartkus.
Unfortunately, federal officials are still waiting on lab results to analyze the content of these packages, neither confirming nor denying Park's direct involvement in the horrific bombing incident.
This tragedy – the most powerful bombing event in Southern California since the 2018 Aliso Viejo spa blast – has sent shockwaves throughout the community and heightened the need for vigilance against terrorism.
Till next time! Stay safe and informed.
NOTE: The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has yet to release an official cause of death for Daniel Park. Sources familiar with the incident report that Park climbed onto a surface and jumped off a high balcony, fatally injuring himself. Two sources, not authorized to discuss the death, confirmed this account to The Times.
