US authorities say the remains of a Guantanamo Bay prisoner who died in September have been returned to his native Yemen.

A spokesman for the military's Miami-based Southern Command said on Saturday that the medical examiner ruled Adnan Latif's September 8 death a suicide.

Colonel Greg Julian said Latif died of a self-induced overdose of prescription medication, adding that acute pneumonia also contributed to the 32-year-old's death.

Latif had been held at Guantanamo for more than a decade.

The US accused him of training with the Taliban to fight in Afghanistan. He was never charged but could not be returned to Yemen because of instability there. He challenged his confinement all the way to the US Supreme Court.

Officials said the Naval Criminal Investigative Service was still investigating Latif's death.
