• An official autopsy reported mechanical asphyxia by hanging with superficial burn injuries and no signs of defensive wounds, with the case proceeding under a presumption of homicidal involvement pending further tests.
• Rescuers found Cordeyro’s body naked on Cerro Elefante and recovered his cellphone at the site after cameras showed he entered the trail alone on September 26.
