A farm worker who was hospitalized with a brain injury during an immigration raid at a Ventura County cannabis farm has died, his family confirmed Saturday.

On July 10, Jaime Alanís was attempting to evade officers when he fell 30 feet from a building and was hospitalized with critical injuries.

He remained on life support at the Ventura County Medical Center. His family said he would remain on life support until his wife arrived from Mexico to be by his side and say goodbye.

On Saturday afternoon, family members confirmed that Alanís had died. “With heavy hearts, my uncle has passed away,” his niece wrote on a GoFundMe page to help the man’s family.

It was erroneously reported earlier that he died on July 10, but he was actually on life support following catastrophic brain & neck injuries. They waited to take him off life support so his wife could be there.
