Residents of the Maito Pass between Tarqui and Elías reported the sighting of the corpse of a male person who was found in an advanced state of putrefaction.
The event occurred yesterday, when people passing through the sector found the body that was floating in the rushing waters of the Magdalena River. When the Civil Defense units arrived, they recovered the mortal remains that were taken to the Institute of Legal Medicine.
It should be noted that his identity is unknown, since it was impossible to recognize him. “Due to the state of decomposition, it was not possible to determine who it was, so Forensic Medicine is expected to do its laboratory work to identify it,” said one of the rescuers.
Now the forensic experts are carrying out the respective morphological tests to know the name of the deceased. It should be noted that days before a subject had been reported missing in the Guacacallo district in Pitalito.
This is Mr. Leovigildo Jiménez, who lived in the municipality of Brussels, Pitalito, the resident had been last seen on May 31 in Brussels. It is not ruled out that he could be that farmer.
