In Argentina, judicial authorities are investigating two separate deaths. In Río Cuarto, an autopsy of 87-year-old Oscar Kowszyk revealed a cause of death as traumatic cardiorespiratory arrest. While investigators identified facial and head injuries caused by a blunt object, the report noted these injuries alone do not explain the fatality. Two men are currently in custody as the inquiry continues.

In Río Grande, an investigation is underway following the death of 3-year-old Tyrone Lionel at the Regional Hospital of Río Grande on August 20. The child had been in pediatric intensive care for fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. The investigation was prompted by a complaint of medical malpractice from the child’s mother. Authorities have seized medical records, security footage, and administrative documents to review the care provided.
