Jakelin Caal Maquin, 7, and her father were apprehended in December as they crossed illegally into the United States from Mexico.
Jakelin Caal Maquin, 7, died of an infection that led to organ failure, according to an autopsy report. Her family held her funeral, above, in Guatemala in December.
The 18-page report by Mario A. Rascon, the medical examiner, described a “rapidly progressive infection,” with “substantial clinical deterioration.” The report did not resolve disputes over whether Jakelin was taken to the hospital for treatment quickly enough and whether she was given sufficient water after she and her father crossed into a remote New Mexico outpost, part of a group of more than 160 migrants. About two weeks later, Felipe Gomez Alonzo, 8, also from Guatemala, died after several days in federal custody. His death is under investigation in New Mexico, an official said.
Relatives and family friends carry Jakelin’s coffin after her funeral. Colleen Kraft, the immediate past president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, renewed calls for the customs agency to allow trained pediatricians to screen children so they can identify urgent medical conditions as the children arrive.
