Overview
- The child fell from a window at Torre III of the Las Torres housing complex, struck the awning of a ground-floor kiosk and was taken to the Hospital Regional where he died Monday from severe injuries including a serious cranial trauma.
- A 39-year-old woman who was caring for the boy was detained for several hours for questioning and later released while police and the Fiscalía continue inquiries.
- Investigators have sent the boy’s body to the morgue for autopsy and have seized the nanny’s and the child’s phones as part of forensic peritajes to establish what happened in the minutes before the fall.
- Reports disagree on the floor of origin — several outlets said the fifth floor while police statements referenced the seventh floor — and officials say that discrepancy is being clarified as they collect CCTV and testimonies.
- Neighbors and firefighters tried to help at the scene, the boy’s school suspended classes in response to the shock in the community, and authorities say the working hypothesis is an accidental domestic fall but that the case remains open pending autopsy and forensic results.
