Moments before he died in Border Patrol custody on Christmas Eve 2018, 8-year-old Felipe Gómez Alonzo told his father he thought he was going to die, according to recently released government documents.
The statements from Felipe's father and secondhand quotes from the 8-year-old hadn't before been published and offer additional details about the events leading up to his death. When they arrived at Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center in Alamogordo, New Mexico, Felipe was unresponsive and pronounced dead. His father couldn't understand what led to Felipe's sudden death, as days prior he was playing and laughing with other children, the documents state.
The hospital had diagnosed Felipe with an upper respiratory infection and prescribed amoxicillin and acetaminophen before discharging him. After taking one dose of the medication, Felipe fell asleep for 15 to 20 minutes before waking up with pain on the right side of his stomach and mid-chest area, another special agent reported.
