Overview

  • Alejandra Steinbach died in Andorra on July 30 after a presumed cardiorespiratory arrest and an hour of unsuccessful CPR.
  • An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the exact cause of her sudden death.
  • She held a one-month residency card but had not registered with Andorra’s social security (CAS), leaving her without state support for repatriation or burial.
  • Her family launched a fundraising campaign under the Mercado Pago alias KARINASTEINBACH to raise over $15,000 for repatriation or cremation costs.
  • Fellow seasonal workers have shared the appeal and a bar in Villa Dolores closed in mourning, donating $1,000 to the cause.
