Authorities are investigating the death of a young child who passed away in Marion County while traveling with her parents on a bus from Texas to Chicago.
Marion County Coroner Troy Cannon reported that his office is investigating the death of the 3-year-old girl, who was on a charter bus with her parents.
“Preliminary autopsy results from early today (Saturday) are inconclusive, but microscopic studies of tissue samples may provide a definitive cause of death,” according to a statement issued by Cannon. “More information may become available in the coming days, but no further information will be released at this time.”
* ABC Chicago…
Cannon told ABC News that the child had diarrhea, vomiting and a low-grade fever before their death. […]
Before the bus departed from Brownsville, “each bus passenger underwent a temperature check and was asked if they had medical conditions that may require medical assistance,” [Texas Division of Emergency Management] said in its statement.
According to the statement, after no passengers presented medical concerns or a fever, the bus departed, and “each bus is stocked with food and water, which are distributed on board.”
TDEM has not responded to multiple requests for comment and did not disclose whether the security personnel onboard have medical training.

“The reaction is emotional because it’s a little girl,” Ricardo Diaz, of the CI Immigration Forum, said.
Diaz said he’s been supporting the child’s family during this time as they look for answers. He said he’s been helping her family with basic needs.
“The family is very confused because they don’t yet know the cause of death. It’s, you know under analysis and so they don’t even know how they lost their girl,” Diaz said. […]
Illinois State Police are currently investigating.
The Illinois Department of Public Health said they are also working with officials to get answers.

I hope Governor Abbott is happy with himself. Using these people as political pawns is disgusting. If there was any way to do it Abbott and DeSantis should be prosecuted.

This is a tragedy. A young kid dying like this. It’s almost if coming to America isn’t a better opportunity for many migrants.

==after no passengers presented medical concerns==
Last I checked, diarrhea and vomiting from a 3yo count as medical concerns. I’m sure the bus driver/security guard were prompt and attentive once this was brought to their attention. /S

“The Party of Christ, doncha know.”
I’ve been a Christian for nearly 30 years. I’m also not a Republican.
