A 15-year-old migrant girl from Guatemala has died while in federal custody, officials confirmed. This marks the fourth death of a child in U.S. government custody this year.
The girl had been hospitalized at El Paso Children’s Hospital for a significant, pre-existing illness when she was referred from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to the Office of Refugee Resettlement in May, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement Tuesday.
The girl was provided medical treatment "according to the mother’s wishes and aligned with the recommendations of the hospital’s health care provider team," the statement said.
The girl's condition deteriorated Friday, and she died Monday as a result of multi-organ failure due to an underlying disease, officials said. Officials said her mother and brother were with her when she died and in the days leading up to her death.
