Overview

  • Víctor Juan Funes, 83, was found dead under his Toyota Hilux at the El Esquinero property near kilometer 590 of National Route 7, about 5 km from Vicuña Mackenna.
  • Initial police hypothesis suggests the automatic pickup moved after he stepped out to perform tasks in the field, and his son discovered the body around 10:30 p.m. Thursday and called 911.
  • Firefighters arrived first and alerted provincial police, and Prosecutor Pablo Jávega tasked Policía Científica with examinations as the body was sent to the Hospital San Antonio de Padua morgue for autopsy.
  • The Ministerio Público Fiscal reported no indications of a criminal act at this stage, and investigators await necropsy and technical reports to determine the mechanism of the incident.
  • In a separate case around 6:30 a.m. Friday, a 20-year-old woman from Trenque Lauquen died in Santa Rosa de Calamuchita after losing control of a Honda Wave 110 cc at Calle 28 and Camino Provincial, with circumstances under investigation.
