Overview
- Gonzalo “El Tigre” Tuama, 39, from Goya, was found with a head gunshot inside the Escuela Militar de Monte in Puerto Iguazú and died shortly after at Hospital SAMIC.
- Initial reports say the wound may have been caused by his own FAL service rifle, a detail that has not yet been conclusively established.
- Federal prosecutor Marcelo Bernachea opened the case and, according to local reporting, assigned Gendarmería to carry out forensic examinations.
- Investigators are considering suicide, accident and homicide as hypotheses, with the Public Prosecutor’s Office to determine which federal force will lead the case.
- Coverage draws parallels to the 2003 FAL death of soldier Mauro Ramírez, a case initially ruled a suicide and later reopened in federal court.
