David "Pino" Leporace, 58, died on Sunday in Punta del Este, after being swept away by the current. The tragedy occurred on Sunday afternoon at Parada 27 and La Brava.
Lifeguards warned him and jumped in to rescue him, but they couldn't. The news caused consternation in San Martín de los Andes, Neuquén, where he had been installed for a long time. He was in charge of Fiambres y Quesos La Montaña, a store founded in 1990.
