A Massachusetts family is calling for a thorough investigation after a state police recruit died following an injury during a training session at the Massachusetts State Police Academy, per USA Today. 

Enrique Delgado-Garcia, 25, from Worcester, was hurt and lost consciousness during a defensive tactics training exercise on Thursday. He passed away the next day. 

The training included boxing, as reported by WBZ-CBS News Boston. 

After helping the recruit, the academy’s medical team determined he needed immediate care, so they took him to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, according to state police Gazette.

“Despite the heroic efforts of medical professionals to deliver lifesaving care, Trainee Delgado-Garcia died at the hospital,”

state police said in a statement

In his last hours, state police held a bilingual ceremony for Delgado-Garcia, for his oath of office where he received his trooper badge in front of family, friends, and classmates.

On Saturday, his body was moved from the hospital to the Chief Medical Examiner’s office in Westfield, with state police cars following the transport. 

Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. confirmed that Delgado-Garcia had previously worked in his office and stated that another agency would investigate his death due to a possible conflict of interest.

“This investigation must be conducted without conflicts of interest and in full transparency,”

City Council Vice Chairman Khrystian King said in a statement.

“It is the least we owe to Enrique, his family, and our community in the pursuit of justice and accountability.”
