Fassil's liquidator was found dead on a street in Santa Cruz. Although the main hypothesis is suicide, the death has unleashed a flood of speculation.

A journalist covering the case announces he is leaving the country. The main hypothesis of the police is that of suicide, as it has transpired. But there are other theories about what happened, since his task as auditor of the bank in liquidation was affecting powerful economic interests.. The autopsy established that he died of "polytrauma and traumatic shock," Government Minister Eduardo del Castillo said at a press conference.
