Authorities are investigating the death of Martín Javier Leguiza, a 26-year-old first corporal of the Argentine Air Force, who was found dead at the Morón Air Base while on guard duty. 

An autopsy determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the temple. While Federal Judge Jorge Ernesto Rodríguez is primarily investigating the incident as a suicide, judicial authorities are conducting complementary measures to rule out foul play. Preliminary findings suggest no third-party involvement, as the victim's service weapon was found near his right hand.

Investigators have ordered the seizure of the victim's cellphone, requested entry and exit logs, and are reviewing health records and weapon control protocols. Toxicological studies and gunpowder residue analysis are also underway. The Argentine Air Force stated it is cooperating fully with the judiciary.
