Overview

• At dawn on July 29, Prefectura Naval Argentina divers and local police resumed searching the Paraná River for 25-year-old Adrián Romani near the Barquito de Papel sculpture.
• Operations were suspended at 8 p.m. on July 28 after strong currents and low visibility made diving unsafe.
• Patrol boats equipped with sonar are scouring the muddy riverbed downstream in hopes of locating the missing angler.
• Romani slipped from a riverbank while winding in his line during a fishing outing with his father, who attempted a rescue but could not reach him.
• Residents and the victim’s family are calling for improved safety barriers and warning signs along Rosario’s riverbanks.
