According to an article on Boston.com:  “An immigrant from Brazil, stricken with an unknown illness while in State Police custody on Friday, died yesterday at Massachusetts General Hospital, the Essex district attorney’s office reported.”  The article goes on to say:  “The death marks the second time in about a month a Brazilian immigrant from Massachusetts has died in the region while in police custody.”

The facts of yesterday’s incident are still unclear.  However, last month’s incident was particularly worrisome because Irene, the sister of Edimar Araujo, the deceased, claims to have tried unsuccessfully to get police to give him his epilepsy medication.  Police deny the allegations.

Our law firm, Maged & Rost, PC will be updating our website at some point this week.  If you would like to make a “before and after” comparison, the old site is still up and running.
When the new site is launched, it will easier for us to update.  I will let you know when the new site is up.  The new site will offer a link to this blog or you can continue to go to www.immigrantconnect.com.  I look forward to your comments and suggestions on the new site once it’s up.
