Body Found in Río Negro Near Guardia Mitre as Autopsy Is Scheduled

Investigators are evaluating whether the remains correspond to a missing Viedma youth or a fugitive in a cattle‑theft case.

Overview

  • Prefectura Naval Argentina recovered an unidentified male body near the Guardia Mitre ferry during a prosecutor-ordered river search.
  • The search stems from two active inquiries connected to a missing-person report for 20-year-old Carlos Alberto Tomasini and a separate abigeato investigation involving a fugitive.
  • Authorities reported the discovery at kilometer 58 near Puesto Salamanca, a difficult-to-access area, and transferred the remains for forensic examination.
  • Officials have not determined the identity, age, or cause of death, and an autopsy was scheduled to establish these details.
  • In a separate development, a different body was found in the Río Neuquén near San Patricio del Chañar and was taken to the Neuquén judicial morgue for identification.
