• Search teams from FGJ-CDMX, Estado de México security forces, Socorro Alpino de México, firefighters, the navy and canine units coordinated across high-altitude terrain.
• Investigators determined Paolo climbed without key mountaineering gear—such as insulated layers, crampons and ice axes—leaving him exposed to subzero temperatures.
