Artist Fernando Fazzolari Found Tied to a Chair as Homicide Probe Deepens

Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage, awaiting forensic results.

Overview

  • The 76-year-old was discovered by his son in his Montserrat apartment on Avenida de Mayo, with a preliminary time-of-death estimate of 48–72 hours before the find.
  • Prosecutor Pablo Turano and the City Police Homicide Division are leading the case, taking statements and mapping the victim’s final movements.
  • Detectives reported no forced entry or missing valuables, and they are weighing scenarios including a visit from someone he knew or a robbery that turned lethal.
  • Camera reviews from the building and nearby businesses are under way, and reporting points to a woman seen with him as the last known visitor, though no identity or arrests are public.
  • A preliminary autopsy was inconclusive on cause of death, with further forensic studies pending and funeral services announced for Thursday and Friday, including a procession to Chacarita cemetery.
