this happened on
Saturday (thus, not LBN) and is only being reported today. :eyes:
http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20081002/NEWS01/810020346/1001A 72-year-old airline passenger from China died Saturday after being detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, the second such incident at Honolulu International Airport this year.
Nanxi Ye, a visitor from Wanzhou, China, was detained by Customs officers shortly after 10 a.m. Saturday because of an issue with his passport, said an official who asked not to be identified, citing an ongoing investigation.
At about noon, Ye complained of shortness of breath and collapsed. Emergency medical personnel at the airport were summoned....
The incident happened nearly eight months after a 14-day-old boy from American Samoa who was flown here for medical treatment died after he and his mother were detained at the airport.And to think, we've been looking at China as one of a very few potential growth markets for tourism... (sigh)
