Man Found Dead With Gunshot Wound After Belgrano Apartment Fire

Prosecutors say suicide is the leading theory pending forensic work.

Overview

  • Firefighters extinguished a blaze in an eighth-floor apartment on Moldes in Belgrano and found a man dead from a gunshot wound to the head.
  • The body was severely burned, and crews reported the fire started in a mezzanine inside the unit.
  • Investigators recovered a handgun and a knife next to the victim.
  • Prosecutors are treating suicide as the working hypothesis, though they have not ruled out other possibilities.
  • FiscalĂ­a Nacional No. 40, led by Dra. Sagasta, is directing the case, and the block remains cordoned off for forensic work that has slowed local traffic.
