A Chinese woman detained by U.S. border officers for overstaying a visitor visa died by suicide while being held at a border patrol station in Arizona, a Democratic congresswoman said.

She was the first Chinese-American woman to fly for the U.S. military. Born in Portland in 1912, Hazel took her first flight when she was 19, earning her pilot's license in less than a year.
