Dead Guatemalan boy had influenza
2018-12-29
[APNEWS] The Latest on an 8-year-old Guatemalan boy who died in U.S. custody (all times local):

10:30 p.m.

New Mexico authorities say an autopsy performed on the 8-year-old Guatemalan boy who died in U.S. custody shows he had the flu.

The New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator says in a statement late Thursday that more tests need to be done before a cause of death can be determined for Felipe Gomez Alonzo.

Authorities say Felipe Gomez Alonzo died at a New Mexico hospital after suffering coughing, vomiting and a fever. Another Guatemalan child, 7-year-old Jakelin Caal, died in U.S. custody on Dec. 8. Both deaths are under investigation.

#3  It's still Trump's fault though. Probably something to do with global warming?

#2  The Spanish flu of 1918 could kill its victims in less than 24 hours from start to finish. Usually the influenza (when it does kill) takes several days to do so. Kid could well have been sick for days before he died.
