Overview

• The preliminary report from Salta’s forensic service states death by asphyxia due to hanging and notes superficial burn-related lesions, with complementary studies still pending.
• Prosecutors said a family-appointed expert witnessed the autopsy and an interdisciplinary team met to coordinate next investigative steps.
• Cordeyro’s body was located Saturday on Cerro Elefante after a two-day search using more than 135 personnel, drones, canines and a helicopter that later transported the remains to the CIF morgue.
• Security footage and phone data show he drove to San Lorenzo, parked near a church and walked alone toward the Elefante trail, and his cellphone was recovered at the site.
• Prosecutors are evaluating whether a grassland fire about 800 meters from the discovery site bears any relevance to the case, and they reported no evidence of accompanying persons or trailing vehicles.
