, one day after authorities say he became unresponsive and suffered a “medical crisis” during a defensive tactics training exercise.
“I don’t understand why it was so rough if it was just training," Sandra Garcia said in Spanish. “I want them to explain it to me, that the state explains to me what happened with my son. … Why did he hit him so hard that it killed him, that it destroyed his brain and broke all of my son’s teeth and he had a neck fracture too, my son.”
The police training in question can cover a range of physical encounters to defend against tackles, punches and other attacks. A state poice spokesman did not specify the type of exercise Delgado-Garcia took part in. Before his death, Enrique Delgado Garcia "was surrounded by family, loved ones, and classmates during the bi-lingual ceremony, which culminated in him being pinned with his Trooper Badge," the department's interim director of media relations, Tim McGuirk, said in the email.

"Enrique was a fine young man who devoted himself to the service of others as a member of the 90th Recruit Training Troop and in his former role as a victim witness advocate in the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office," Mawn 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.
