A 16-year-old boy died while working in a Mississippi poultry plant. An unscrupulous hiring agency may be to blame, a workplace expert says.

• Tomas Duvan Perez, 16, died after becoming trapped in equipment while working at a Mississippi poultry plant.
• It is illegal for US poultry plants to hire minors. The company says a hiring agency misled them about his age.
• Perez is the third minor in the last month to die in a US workplace, the Huffington Post reported.

Duvan Tomas Perez was just 10 years old when he moved from Guatemala to the United States with his family. Now, six years later, he is dead because of a workplace accident at a poultry plant that should've never hired him.
