Enrique Delgado-Garcia, 25, died in hospital one day after suffering ‘medical crisis’ in defensive tactics training

A Massachusetts state police recruit died a day after he became unresponsive and suffered a “medical crisis” during a defensive tactics training exercise, authorities said.

While authorities would not elaborate, the Boston CBS affiliate WBZ reported that Enrique Delgado-Garcia was mortally injured during a boxing exercise that was a standard part of the police academy which he was attending. He was knocked out for nearly 10 minutes after absorbing a blow to the head, the outlet reported, citing sources familiar with details about the recruit’s death, which occurred less than a month before he was set to graduate from the training academy.
