\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t Prosecutors are investigating the recent death of \u00c1ngel L., a four-year-old boy who died under suspicious circumstances in the province of Chubut. Although a murder has not been confirmed, the child\u2019s mother and her partner are the main suspects and have been charged by the prosecutor.<\/p>\n
\u00c1ngel\u2019s father filed the complaint and claimed that, a month ago, courts had taken custody away from him following a complaint filed by the mother alleging gender-based violence.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u00c1ngel was killed,\u201d the father told the press. \u201cMy son always asked for help, but they never did anything. Everyone called me sexist; if it had been the other way around, I\u2019d already be in jail,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The mother rejected the accusations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t kill my son. In fact, I protected him and looked out for him,\u201d she said to the press.<\/p>\n
Details of the tragedy Last Sunday, at a home in the Quintas neighborhood in the city of Comodoro Rivadavia, \u00c1ngel\u2019s mother called for help because her son was having trouble breathing. According to her, he had started feeling ill in his room around 7 a.m.<\/p>\n
Medical personnel and police arrived at the scene, found the boy with no vital signs, and began resuscitation efforts. Minutes later, he was rushed to the Regional Hospital, where he was admitted around 8:35 a.m. and treated in the pediatric emergency room.<\/p>\n
He was declared dead on Monday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo traumatic intervention by the doctors was evident, and there were no signs of violence,\u201d said Cristian Olaz\u00e1bal, who temporarily replaced the prosecutor in the case, in an interview with the TN TV station.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, he added, upon internal examination, traumatic injuries were found in the child\u2019s skull.<\/p>\n
Current prosecutor Facundo Oribones said in a press conference on Friday that \u201cinvestigators are trying to determine whether the injuries were intentional or accidental.\u201d They are awaiting the results of the histopathological report.<\/p>\n
Since the boy\u2019s mother and her partner were the last people \u00c1ngel was with, they are the main suspects.<\/p>\n
Investigators will need to reconstruct the child\u2019s medical history, as well as the circumstances under which he lived with his mother and the background leading up to the reunification process.<\/p>\n
Regarding the father, the prosecutor stated: \u201cPreliminary information indicates a conflictive family relationship between the adults, but no violence toward \u00c1ngel. We have no record of violence against the child.\u201d<\/p>\n
The case is currently labeled \u201cInvestigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a minor,\u201d according to an official communiqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n
The father is being assisted by the Prosecutor\u2019s Office\u2019s Victim Assistance Service and has already been in contact with the investigative team assigned to the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
