WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A 17-year-old Honduran unaccompanied migrant teen died after being found unconscious in a Florida shelter on May 10, according to a notification to U.S. lawmakers from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) refugee office.
The teen, Angel Eduardo Maradiaga Espinoza, had been placed by HHS on May 5 with Gulf Coast Jewish Family and Community Services in Safety Harbor, Florida, the notification said.
He was taken to a hospital and, after one hour of life-saving resuscitation attempts, was pronounced dead, it said.
