Overview
- Dante Castro died Monday after several days in intensive care at the Daniel Alcides Carrión hospital in Callao.
- Witnesses said he fell from the bed of a pickup when the vehicle lurched forward during the party’s closing caravan.
- Coverage differs on when the accident happened, with some outlets reporting April 9 and others April 10 during end‑of‑campaign events.
- Party leader Roberto Sánchez issued a public condolence, and supporters called for authorities to determine how the incident occurred.
- Castro, 67, was a prizewinning writer and longtime San Marcos professor, and his loss is likely to intensify scrutiny of how parties run moving rallies where people ride on truck beds.
