Nobody on the boat knew her real name or even a nickname? Maybe what part of Haiti she was from or which family? She looks young, maybe 20s.

I believe this is the same woman. It states she's 40 years old.

How does anyone know she is 40 if they don't know who she is? I mean that's pretty darn specific. Am I missing something here?

This is a lengthy article, and so incredibly heartbreaking. It does mention this lady as shown in excerpts below:

"Tcherry fell asleep on the larger cutter and woke at around dawn to commotion. He saw an EMT pressing on the chest of a middle-aged woman who lay several yards away from him. She had been moaning in pain the night before. The crew member keeping watch had found her dead, her nose and mouth covered in blood. Another Haitian woman began to sing a hymn as the EMT performing CPR cried. A small boat took the woman’s body away .."

and later

"that the body of Guerline Tulus, the woman who died on the cutter of what the medical examiner concluded was an embolism, remains in a Miami morgue, and that authorities have not identified any next of kin"

When the Coast Guard Intercepts Unaccompanied Kids

A Haitian boy arrived on Florida’s maritime border. His next five days detained at sea illuminate the crisis facing children traveling to the U.S. alone and the crews forced to send them back.
