Overview

  • In an audio shared by his family, 33-year-old Gonzalo Alfaro said he is "evolving very well," thanked those who supported him, and expressed his wish to reunite with his three daughters in Chile.
  • Hospital Fiorito reported that Alfaro suffered severe cranial trauma, underwent emergency surgery, and spent several days in intensive care with mechanical ventilation and analgesics.
