Autopsy Confirms Lara Gutiérrez Died From Severed Carotid as Investigation Advances

Prosecutors have extended secrecy to protect new investigative measures.

Overview

  • The official autopsy found the 15-year-old died of hypovolemic shock caused by a cut to the right primitive carotid artery.
  • Examiners documented three stab wounds along with additional puncture‑cut injuries on the body.
  • The report noted advanced decomposition and recorded a gag of plastic tape, tape around the knees, a cord on both ankles, a serrated table knife, and fragments of green glass.
  • Forensic doctors cautioned that continuous refrigeration since intake could affect the estimated time of death.
  • Authorities were flying 28-year-old Matías Ozorio from Peru to Argentina under federal escort, and prosecutor Adrián Arribas extended the case secrecy order for 24 more hours.
