Body of Missing Reconquista Businessman Found Downstream After River Search

A multi‑agency operation located Marcelo Boschi in the San Jerónimo River, where an initial review points to drowning.

Overview

  • Authorities found Boschi’s body Thursday morning in the San Jerónimo River near the spot known as El Timbó Quemado, downstream of Puerto Reconquista.
  • His motorboat had been discovered Tuesday adrift on the Riacho Correntoso about 10 km upstream, prompting water, air and shoreline searches.
  • Boschi left Guardería Amarras around 5 a.m. bound for Goya, was recorded passing at 5:55 a.m., and fishermen later saw his boat drifting without him.
  • Prefectura Naval led the search with support from Santa Fe police units, tactical divers, and Prefectura Corrientes, while PDI handled forensic work on the vessel.
  • According to local reports cited by La Capital, early examinations found no signs of a crime and indicated asphyxia by immersion; a prosecutor authorized release of the body to the family, with an autopsy possible at their request.
