Overview
- A man collapsed during an amateur match at Club Las Violetas in Lavalle on Saturday and teammates immediately began cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
- Players placed the injured man in a private pickup and intercepted a Servicio de Emergencias Coordinado (SEC) ambulance at the intersection of Dorrego and La Solita so medical staff could continue treatment.
- Despite on-site CPR and advanced resuscitation in the ambulance, medical teams declared the patient dead minutes later.
- Local media and authorities identified the victim as Ramón Fernández, a retired comisario general of the Policía de Mendoza, and officials say formal judicial proceedings and procedural reviews are underway.
- Colleagues, the Círculo de Oficiales and local residents posted condolences and remembered Fernández’s long police career and legal studies, and the case may prompt renewed attention to emergency response at amateur sports events.
