Christian Petersen Shows ‘Clear Improvement,’ Family Says, as Chef Remains in ICU

A brief statement credits prompt care after the Lanín ascent, signaling controlled updates.

Overview

  • Christian Petersen remains in intensive care at Hospital Dr. Ramón Carrillo in San Martín de los Andes, with his family reporting a “clear improvement.”
  • The family’s note attributes the episode to excessive physical effort during the Lanín climb that first drew cardiological attention and then evolved into multiorgan failure, while thanking the hospitals of Junín and San Martín.
  • The mountain guides’ account describes a nighttime change in behavior, an early descent with notice to National Parks, and a later request for Gendarmerie intervention; the AAGM said there was no stroke or arrhythmia during the ascent.
  • Media reports say doctors extubated Petersen after he responded to stimuli, though no new official medical bulletin has been issued beyond the initial provincial update.
  • A TV report claimed toxicology results were positive for cocaine and MD, but the family has not confirmed that information and has requested privacy, limiting public details.
