Jakelin Caal's father signed an English-only form before her death saying she was in good health.

U.S. Border Patrol officials said 7-year-old Jakelin Caal had not had food and water in days, but her family disputes this.

According to U.S. Border Patrol officials and the Department of Homeland Security, the seven-year-old Guatemalan girl who died in U.S. custody began vomiting while in transit, and was revived twice before being transported to a trauma centre.
