GenTech Executive Linked to Martín Menem Found Dead in Almagro

Fiscalía Nº22 has provisionally labeled the case 'muerte dudosa', awaiting autopsy results to determine the cause.

Overview

  • Daniel Antonio Osorio Peñaloza, 46, was found dead in his Almagro apartment Sunday and served as GenTech’s general manager and a director of the firm.
  • A colleague with a key discovered the body after Osorio stopped answering calls, emergency medical teams and the Police of the City attended the scene, and Martín Menem went to the building as authorities worked.
  • Investigators opened the case under the provisional label 'muerte dudosa' and assigned it to Fiscalía Nacional en lo Criminal y Correccional Nº22 with an autopsy and forensic tests pending.
  • Early police reports noted no visible signs of violence and investigators have proposed medical causes such as a possible acute pulmonary edema as hypotheses that require confirmation.
  • GenTech issued condolences and Menem publicly asked for caution while the probe proceeds; the death raises questions for the company that Menem founded and for public contracts tied to its sports-supplement business.
