RIP DUSTIN ANGELO DELOSSANTOS (February 23, 1987 – May 14, 2026)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Thursday.

The decedent was actually of Filipino descent.

To make corrections to the public record, the family should tell the funeral home to call the govenrment investigator in charge of this case. It was Edna Morales who decided to group the decedent with the Hispanic cohort.

Conflating two distinct demographic categories flouts OMB requirements and skews everything from civil rights monitoring to resource allocation.
