Two Unexplained Deaths in Argentina Trigger Separate Forensic Probes

Prosecutors have ordered autopsies with camera checks to assess natural causes, accidents or third‑party involvement.

Overview

  • Police in La Plata recovered an unidentified man from the Arroyo El Gato after a neighbor reported a body, and the initial report noted no visible injuries.
  • Prosecutor Juan Cruz Condomí Alcorta ordered an autopsy and requested public and private security footage to map the man’s last movements and confirm his identity.
  • In Santiago del Estero, investigators found 62-year-old Antonio Castillo dead off National Route 89 with his 150 cc motorcycle nearby.
  • Fiscal Guillermo Farías ordered an autopsy and a sweep of the area, and police are taking witness statements to piece together what happened.
  • Both inquiries are testing several explanations, including a medical event, a traffic crash or the involvement of others, and communities in La Plata and Bandera await the forensic results.
