A 22-year-old second lieutenant of the Argentine Army died this Sunday in the province of Corrientes after having been part of an initiation party, also known as 'baptism', together with colleagues and chiefs of the Artillery Group No. 3 of Paso de los Libres . The soldier had been found unconscious in his room and was taken to a local hospital, where he died. The causes of death are being investigated.
The deceased second lieutenant was identified as Matías Ezequiel Chirino, a native of the city of Río Cuarto, province of Córdoba, who had been transferred a few days ago to the Artillery Group No. 3 of Paso de los Libres.
As they explained to Infobae from the Corrientes Public Prosecutor's Office, it was 5 o'clock on Sunday when a duty officer was alerted in the Officers' Casino by two Chirino colleagues, who warned him that the second lieutenant was unconscious in the room.
The duty officer went to the room and found that the second lieutenant's body was cold and his vital signs were very weak. Given this, he notified a superior of the Artillery Group, who ordered the transfer of the young man to the San José hospital. Once in that health center, and despite the tasks of the doctors from the guard service, the Cordovan soldier died.
By order of prosecutor Mauro Casco, head of the Paso de Los Libres UFI, an autopsy was carried out this Monday to determine the causes of Chirino's death.
During the celebration in the Paso de los Libres regiment, a lot of alcohol was consumed: beer, wine, fernet, among other drinks, although no details were given about what the "baptismal practices" consisted of to which the new members of the regiment were subjected. Artillery Group.
The party ended just half an hour after midnight, when all the participants retired to their rooms. In fact, some witnesses commented that the deceased second lieutenant was one of the "most lucid".
According to the Public Prosecutor's Office, after the death of the second lieutenant in the San José hospital guard, the local police doctor, Commissioner Mayor Carlos Vizcaíno, estimated that the death would have occurred after a picture of bronchial aspiration.
Although it will be the autopsy that determines the official cause of death, after the preliminary report of the local police doctor, one of the hypotheses that will be investigated is whether the second lieutenant choked on his vomit.
Meanwhile, the Argentine Army issued a statement this Monday afternoon, where it lamented "the death" of Chirino and accompanied "his closest comrades and loved ones in pain." According to the document, the victim was "resting" in the Military Unit Officers' Casino when he "suffered a decompensation picture."
