- <p> DIED. BENITO AGRELO, 15, a two-time liver-transplant recipient;
- of liver failure; in Coral Springs, Florida. Possessed of a
- maturity beyond his years, Benny attracted national attention
- in June when the state's child-welfare agency tried to force
- him to take his antirejection medication. He refused, complaining
- that the medication caused violent headaches and triggered unbearable
- pain in his joints. He spent the last months of his life on
- his own terms--playing video games and watching his tropical
- fish.
