Baby detained, dies in Honolulu airport

Recommended Posts

PAGO PAGO, American Samoa - American Samoa's delegate to the U.S. Congress is calling for an investigation into the death of a baby at Honolulu International Airport.

 

Delegate Eni Faleomavaega has asked the Department of Homeland Security to begin an investigation into death of 14-day-old Michael Tony Futi last Friday.

 

The baby had been flown to Honolulu for emergency heart surgery. He died while detained inside a customs' room at the Honolulu airport with his mother and a nurse.

 

A lawyer for the family announced plans to sue the federal government over the baby's death.

 

Faleomavaega called for the probe in a letter issued to Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff.

Perhaps putting the baby with the checked baggage wasn't such a bright idea.
