Two days after the death of Sofía Fernándezthe teenager Rosarina, 17 years old who suffered a decompensation in the middle of an excursion on the hill Champaquíthe highest in the province of Córdobathe prosecutor investigating the case indicated that he will request the girl’s medical history and that for the time being the information that emerged from the autopsy does not provide sufficient elements to make imputations.
Sofia, diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, began to feel bad at the height and had told his family in the middle of the walk. In an audio to his sister Danisashortly before dying, the minor had assured: “I vomited about seven times in the bus, I felt really bad.”
In fact, after hearing the news of her death, Danisa spoke to local media and indicated about her sister, who had gone to Córdoba as part of a contingent of about 80 people: “He spent the whole trip vomiting, he told us that he was afraid and that he wanted to go back.”
Now, according to what was published by the newspaper The capital, the prosecutor Alejandro Carballo will request more information to understand why he decompensated. “We will request the medical history from Rosario, where Sofía was treated, to have a complete picture of her situation and assess if there is any type of responsibility. I still do not have elements to suspect, with good reason, someone’s criminal responsibility.”
Carballo also said that in the first conclusions of the autopsy nothing in particular is noted, except for one previous condition: hyperthyroidism. In any case, the family indicated that although this disease had caused some heart problems, she was regularly monitored by an endocrinologist and a cardiologist.
Likewise, he explained that there are still data that will complement the autopsy and allow a complete conclusion, although the physical examination has already been carried out, and added regarding the conditions in which Sofía traveled: “He had certain recommendations on his medical clearance that were followed up by the school authorities. For example, he did not have a backpack, which was carried by the mule, precisely because of this condition.”.
“There were ten adults plus the guide and equipped paramedics, with a defibrillator and elements to channel. In fact, Sofía was channeled with a serum when she began to vomit and was treated at all times in which some type of symptoms was evident, “the prosecutor also indicated in dialogue with La Capital and assured that” the guides had experience and They went with the corresponding elements.”
Right now, the family and friends of the minor bid her farewell in Rosario, the city where the body arrived last night, at the same time that the contingent of students returned secondaries who had spent the previous night in a shelter on the heights of the hill Champaquí From Cordoba.
The undertaking of the return of the 70 students and 12 companions was confirmed to Telam by Cristina Jelonche, deputy director of the school N°1344 “Mary Mother of the Civilization of Love”, establishment to which the rescued contingent belongs.
