Overview
- Jonathan Dayán Monsalve, 40, sought care on November 17 for intense headaches, dizziness and vomiting at a local health post and later at Hospital Castro Rendón, where he was sent home with a diagnosis of muscle contracture, according to his family.
- His condition worsened the next day, prompting a 107 ambulance call during which emergency staff repeatedly asked about alcohol or drug use, allegations the family denies.
- Upon his return to the hospital, he was admitted to the red zone with a diagnosis of a severe stroke, was intubated, fell into a coma and died Wednesday afternoon.
- The family accuses the provincial health system of failing to recognize a serious neurological episode and says it will pursue legal action against the facilities involved.
- Local reporting by La Mañana de Neuquén brought the case to light over the weekend and national outlets amplified it, while the hospital said there was no official comment at the time of publication.
