Euless Police Department: Condition Of Fallen Detective's Family Is Improving, Children Home From Hospital

EULESS, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - In a Thursday press conference, the Euless Police Department gave details on the condition of slain Det. Alex Cervantes' family and on when funeral services might be announced.

Cervantes was killed last week when a drunk driver slammed into his car, leaving his wife and two children with serious injuries as well.

Police said that their condition has improved, and that the two children have been discharged from the hospital and are home recovering.

Cervantes' wife is still in the hospital and under sedation, but her condition is improving and has been upgraded to stable.

Because she is still unable to communicate, the family has asked that funeral services be postponed until she is awake.

Police also said that they do not plan to hold a vigil or any other memorial until the family gives them permission to do so.
