Overview
- Volunteer firefighters responded to a call about smoke on Wednesday and found 37-year-old Eduarda Fátima Bergalli dead in the patio after no fire was located.
- The victim’s husband was the only person reported at the house and told police he found her with a rope tied to her neck and a concrete column; he was not detained during the initial stage of the probe.
- Police sealed the Sargento Cabral house and seized a polypropylene rope, a cable, mobile phones, a handwritten letter and empty medication boxes for forensic analysis.
- Fiscal Gustavo Mosquera opened the case as an inquiry into the cause of death and ordered an autopsy at the Instituto Médico Forense in the city of Corrientes, with results expected to guide the investigation.
- Neighbors reported unusual movements and calls for help before authorities arrived, and investigators say the forensics will determine whether the case becomes an accidental, suicidal, or criminal probe with possible charges to follow.
