A state police recruit, Enrique Delgado-Garcia, tragically passed away at the age of 25 after experiencing a medical emergency during a defensive tactics exercise at the Massachusetts State Police Academy. Delgado-Garcia's death has prompted an external investigation led by the state attorney general to uncover the circumstances surrounding the incident.
During his funeral in Worcester, law enforcement officers paid their respects by carrying Delgado-Garcia's casket draped in an American flag. The somber event was accompanied by a rendition of 'Going Home' played by a bagpiper, and Governor Maura Healey ordered flags across the state to be flown at half-staff in his honor.
