- The dog struck Marta Fortunata Espina, 75, who died instantly from vertebral crushing, according to the forensic report cited by contemporaneous press.
- Neighbor Edith Solá, reported as 46 or 47, was fatally hit and dragged by a Line 55 bus as she ran across Avenida Rivadavia to help.

- This year's retrospectives recall heavy foot traffic and reports of malfunctioning traffic lights near Rivadavia and Morelos as context and report no new investigative findings.
