WORCESTER - The Massachusetts State Police held its graduation ceremony Wednesday, where they paid tribute to a trooper recruit who was supposed to graduate but was killed during a training exercise at the academy.
Enrique Delgado-Garcia, 25, died at a hospital on Sept. 13 a day after becoming unresponsive during a defensive tactics exercise in a boxing ring and suffering a "medical crisis," authorities have said. The attorney general has since named an attorney to lead an outside investigation into the death of Delgado-Garcia, whose funeral was held Saturday.
Delgado-Garcia's mother and others have said they want answers and accountability from the investigation, and she has raised questions about whether the training exercise was unnecessarily violent. She was not at a protest held outside DCU Center during the graduation but some of Delgado-Garcia's friends and other relatives had similar questions.
