Overview
- The Fiscalía General del Estado has formally opened a criminal investigation and moved the boy’s remains to the regional Semefo for study.
- On July 20 a woman brought the nearly two-year-old to Hospital San José unconscious, where doctors confirmed his death and noted multiple contusions.
- The child, identified as Eros by his grandmother, lacked an official birth certificate, complicating legal identification and case records.
- Forensic experts are conducting postmortem analyses to determine if the wounds resulted from abuse or another cause.
- Authorities will await the Semefo’s findings before deciding whether to press criminal charges in the case.
