Overview

  • Guillermo Márquez, 72, and Alberto Márquez, 74, were discovered deceased Friday night inside the house they shared on Rawson al 2700.
  • A neighbor who is a cousin called 911 after two weeks without contact, prompting officers to force entry and locate the bodies.
  • Police reported no signs of violence on the victims or forced entry at the property, and noted clutter consistent with the men’s longstanding living conditions.
  • Investigators cited chronic health issues and medication use reported by relatives as context for the working hypothesis of natural causes.
  • Jefatura Departamental and Policía Científica processed the scene and took statements, with the case under prosecutorial oversight as some outlets await autopsy results and one report claims a medical examiner already ruled natural causes.
