The State Police recruit severely injured in a boxing “training exercise” during training has died, the MSP announced late Friday night.
Enrique Delgado-Garcia, 25, “tragically passed away following a medical crisis suffered during a training exercise,” the agency announced.
His death is being investigated by the Worcester DA’s office, according to multiple reports. He died at UMass Medical in Worcester after being injured at the State Police New Braintree training center.
“Despite the heroic efforts of medical professionals to deliver lifesaving care, Trainee Delgado-Garcia died at the hospital,” the agency added.
State Police Col. John E. Mawn Jr. said Friday night Delgado-Garcia was a member of the 90th Recruit Training Troop and came to the agency after serving as a victim witness advocate in the Worcester District Attorney’s Office.
“The Massachusetts State Police grieves the tragic loss of Trainee Enrique Delgado-Garcia, and we offer our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. They have the full measure of our support and care, and they remain full members of our State Police Family,” Mawn said.
He added: “In his short time with the State Police, Enrique demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to learn and a desire to deliver excellent police services to the people of Massachusetts. He made an immediate impression on his classmates and the Academy Staff. By all accounts, Enrique possessed and displayed all the qualities that would have made him an outstanding Trooper: kindness and compassion, dedication, commitment, willingness to work hard to improve himself, and a strong desire help others.”
