Overview
- Colleagues checking on a 28-year-old gendarme found him unresponsive at his Tartagal home Wednesday after he missed duty.
- Police logged a 911 alert around 10:30 a.m., confirmed the death at the scene, and activated protocol through Comisaría Tercera.
- The prosecutor’s office for grave crimes against persons requested a forensic doctor, and Criminalistics preserved and documented the home.
- Investigators identified the victim as Gustavo Daniel Aquino of Gendarmería’s Escuadrón 54, a Formosa native who lived alone in the TGN neighborhood.
- Authorities cite suicide as the main hypothesis with autopsy results still pending, and the case drew mourning posts and concern about support for security-force personnel alongside reports of other recent deaths.
