The Texas Nicaraguan Community (TNC) reported that Nicaraguan Ricardo Hernández, who died in an accident while working in a workshop in the United States, after emigrating a month ago, was repatriated to the Central American country this Wednesday, November 30.
«The compatriot Ricardo Hernández, who lost his life in an accident at his place where he worked, in Atlanta Georgia, arrives in Nicaragua on an Avianca flight today November 30 at 7 pm. The owner of the place where he worked disclaimed responsibilities, since Mr. Hernández had just arrived in the USA and did not have any documents yet, “said the organization.

“Thanks to the fact that his family and friends in Nicaragua managed to raise the amount of money for his repatriation, they were accompanied and the repatriation was achieved. We extend to his wife, children and other relatives our sincere condolences and strength, “adds TNC.
According to information from his relatives, the man worked in a crane workshop, he loaded a vehicle onto a hydraulic jack and the jack slipped, falling on him, causing his instant death. He was originally from New Guinea and was living in Atlanta.
The bodies of Melvin Alexander Zelaya Hurtado and José Antonio García Ramírez, who drowned in the Rio Grande, were also recently repatriated. Zelaya’s ashes and García’s body were sent on an Avianca airline flight, which landed at the Augusto C. Sandino International Airport in Managua on November 27.
Both bodies remained in the morgue of a hospital in Laredo, Texas, in the United States; since May 26. That day, the citizens tried to cross the Rio Grande, but were swept away by the waters.
Like these two citizens, other Nicaraguans have lost their lives trying to cross the Rio Grande, trying to reach the United States. Many have decided to migrate for economic reasons or because of the persecution that the Daniel Ortega regime has carried out against opponents.
