Another report claims that a nurse who saw the kid said he should be taken to the hospital but he was allowed to die instead.
"Had Hernández Vásquez been transferred to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), the agency within HHS in charge of caring for unaccompanied migrant children, within 72 hours of his apprehension, he would have received a comprehensive medical exam within 48 hours. Border Patrol typically provides basic medical care, but children in ORR care are subject to far greater medical scrutiny, including influenza vaccinations not provided by CBP.
Instead, less than a day before his death, a nurse found the boy had a 103 degree fever, according to his autopsy. He was prescribed the antiviral flu Tamiflu, but it was too late."
