The cause of death of the cook found in a canal in Maipú was known

A little more than a day has passed since Pablo Ezequiel Troncoso (32) was found dead inside a irrigation ditch in a roundabout located a few meters from the Canota Park of Maipu and doubts still remain about the events that led to his tragic end.

However, in the last few hours the Homicide prosecutor Gustavo Pirrello He received in his office an advance of the autopsy of the Forensic Medical Corps (CMF) that allows detectives to begin to reconstruct the sequence of the death of the cook, who worked at a well-known five star hotel in the city.

According to the medical examiner who was in charge of the autopsy, The body had some abrasions on the knee and forehead, which would coincide with an accidental fall..

In that sense, the injury that the victim suffered to the head would not have caused his death. Everything indicates that Troncoso He was unconscious after falling from his bicycle and hitting himself, so he drowned when his head was submerged in the water accumulated in the ditch..

This deduction was made from the remains of water found in the lungs and trachea during the analysis carried out by the experts on the body of the gastronomic expert, said sources close to the investigation consulted by Sun.

For their part, the researchers They have practically ruled out that it was a road accident or some type of intentional attack.because the body did not present any type of impact or injury consistent with the participation of a third party in the incident.

However, the camera MA-127 of the Strategic Operations Center (CEO), located in the northern sector of the roundabout, opposite the side where the cook was found, did not record the moment of the fall. This is because it has an automatic rotation system and was pointing in another direction at the time of the accident, the sources explained.

Thus, prosecutor Pirrello will wait for the incorporation of the expanded autopsy and other evidence that was pending production and, If no elements arise that modify the current hypothesis, the file will end up being archived in the near future..
