Teen dies while in detention at West Palm Beach state facility

WEST PALM BEACH — Authorities are investigating the death of an inmate who died Sunday morning while in custody at a West Palm Beach detention center.
A young man was pronounced dead at 8:10 a.m. Sunday at the Palm Beach Regional Juvenile Detention Center, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice spokeswoman Samadhi Jones confirmed Monday.
The department's inspector general and the West Palm Beach Police Department are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death.
Jones said she could not release the victim's name because of state law. But Maritza Perez of Fort Pierce said investigators told her Sunday the victim was her son, Eric, who turned 18 this month.
Eric Perez had been charged with violating his probation June 28. According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, he had been arrested six times in Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties since May 2008 for offenses such as burglary, larceny and marijuana possession.
Maritza Perez said her son was due to be released this week.
She said that representatives from West Palm Beach police, the detention center and the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner's Office indicated that her son died of a sudden illness.
"Everybody keeps giving me different stories of how he passed," she said.
Maritza Perez said she heard from a West Palm Beach detective Sunday.
"When we talked to the detective yesterday, he was telling me that Eric was out of breath, that he couldn't breathe, and that the kid who was in the cell with him was trying to get the attention of the guards," she said.
Maritza Perez said the lieutenant from the detention center said Eric had an enlarged heart and had bleeding in his brain.
A representative from the medical examiner's office indicated his office was examining Eric's lungs, Maritza Perez said.
