  • The Córdoba case is classified as a death of doubtful etiology, with forensic teams assessing the jacuzzi and the establishment’s safety measures.
  • In Santiago del Estero, a 3-year-old boy identified as G. M.M. was found unconscious in a pool at his aunt’s home in Quimilí near 22:00 and was declared dead at the Suncho Corral district hospital by Dr. Diógenes Soria.
