Description
A 17-year-old Honduran migrant who died in U.S. custody may have died from an epileptic seizure, according to the Pinellas County sheriff. However, authorities and family await the final autopsy report.
Ángel Eduardo Maradiaga Espinoza was placed in a holding center in Safety Harbor on Friday, May 5, just two days after being processed at the U.S.-Mexico border. The teen died on May 10 after being found unconscious in his room.
10 Tampa Bay's Angelina Salcedo spoke to Maradiaga Espinoza's mother Monday. She said her son had a minor case of epilepsy, but she didn't believe that was the cause of his death.
