Overview

• Forensic examiners concluded that Morena Verdi died from neurogenic shock caused by strangulation, with a macroscopic cervical luxofracture at C1–C2.
• A ligature furrow consistent with a noose was observed, with findings of generalized asphyxial syndrome supporting strangulation.
• The body bore restraints and asphyxial elements, including a cord on the ankles, plastic ties on both wrists, a gag, a bag over the head, and a scarf-like item at the neck.
• Multiple injuries were recorded, many postmortem, with soil residues and advanced decomposition consistent with burial where the remains were recovered.
• The autopsy places death roughly four to five days before examination, indicating the killings occurred between the night of September 19 and early September 20, and was performed at the Judicial Morgue in Gregorio de Laferrere.
