Overview
- Police in Santiago del Estero found a 10-year-old girl dead at home and recorded bruises on the glutes, groin irritation, and a torn, stained sweater.
- The prosecutor sent the body to the judicial morgue for autopsy and detained the father, while officers kept the mother under custody.
- The parents told investigators the child had a week of severe throat pain and cough and said they lacked money to seek medical care.
- In Comodoro Rivadavia, relatives of 4-year-old Ángel López say his body remains in the morgue more than a month later as they reject a new report that points to bilateral pneumonia.
- With the pneumonia report now in the file, prosecutors must decide whether to pursue negligence for lack of timely care or close the case if they confirm a natural death.
