The man said he was not related to the dead woman but had lived on the same block as her in Colombia.
He said her son would likely be staying with a family friend now. He did not address the woman’s 7-year-
daughter.
Authorities said the woman had been staying at the shelter with her kids, after her husband got separated
from the family at the border and repeatedly failed to make it to the US to reunite with them in New York
City.
“These children are in the hands of the proper care that they need,” Adams said Tuesday. “And when
we’re just really not allowed to give out that type of information.”
Mayor Eric Adams argued he does not have the authority to discuss details about the Colombian who committed suicide.
