Autopsy Finds 1-Year-Old Died After Choking on Two Objects

Prosecutors in San Martín are reconstructing the events to determine if any crime occurred.

Overview

  • Dante Valentín Bermudes Rumi, who died March 21, choked at home in Los Polvorines and reached the Grand Bourg trauma hospital without vital signs.
  • The autopsy concluded he died from asphyxia caused by two items lodged in his airway, and examiners found no other injuries.
  • Judicial sources said the objects were artificial nails used in the mother's manicure work, a household hazard now under review by investigators.
  • The case is filed in UFI No. 4 as an averiguación causal de muerte, a cause‑of‑death inquiry that seeks to reconstruct the sequence before any charges are considered.
  • Family disputes over the wake and burial led to police involvement at the hospital, with the mother alleging assaults and limited viewing as paternal relatives call for her to be investigated.
