Overview
- Search teams recovered the body Sunday evening in the Quebrada de Ranchillo area near the Chacay stream after several days without contact.
- Rescuers found a Volkswagen Amarok off National Route 7 containing a disability certificate that led to Pombo’s identification, later stated by the Uspallata Urban Guard.
- Investigators reported no visible signs of violence at the scene, and the formal cause of death awaits the Cuerpo Médico Forense autopsy.
- Early hypotheses include accidental drowning or a slip-and-fall in rugged terrain, based on items found and site conditions, though conclusions remain pending.
- The extraction required a multi-agency operation led by police and rescue units in difficult-to-access mountains, with the vehicle located about 1 km into the ravine and the body roughly 7 km beyond.
