A
married couple was found dead
by their 8-year-old son at their home in Haedo.
According to police sources, the tragedy was due to an
electric shock
after coming into contact with a cable that was in the metal staircase of the house.
The boy left his room in search of his parents when the light in the house went out.
Not finding them, he went to the patio door of his house and found it open.
Upon leaving, he found them
"lying on the bottom
.
"
He called 911 and when the police arrived at the scene they found that the couple had died.
They believe that they
were electrocuted
when they went to take down the freshly washed clothes before the imminent storm that was announced yesterday.
The tragedy occurred on 1200 Amado Nervo Street, in the Morón district.
Police and firefighters found the bodies of a 39-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman, both parents of the boy,
lying next to a metal ladder, and in a pool of water
.
According to what he told police authorities, the boy was playing on the computer when he heard that his parents had gone to the back of the property.
Then he said the power went out and he came back right away.
After this episode, the boy told the police that he found his parents lying down and that is why he called 911.
"At the site, the firefighters established that
an electrical cable touched a metal structure and the staircase of the house,
" explained the sources, who detailed that the couple was not the owner but had been renting the house for three years.
According to the portal
Primer Plano
, given the rains that broke out this Monday morning, the man went to remove the clothes that were lying and received the cable discharge.
"
The walls were also electrocuted,
" they clarified.
"The man was
barefoot
and it is believed that the woman, trying to help him, was also electrocuted," they said.
Karina, sister of one of the victims, related in dialogue with the press: “I received a call, they did not tell me what had happened and when I got here I found the street blocked, the fire brigade and the police would not let me enter.
They told me that my nephew called 911 and that apparently it had been a domestic accident. "
"When I entered I saw the situation that the two were lying on the floor in the back of the house, until the autopsy is not there we cannot know exactly what happened," said the baby's aunt.
And she added in shock: “My nephew got up because he went to look for the parents in the room, he saw that the back door was open and he went out, he found his parents lying on the floor, he
touched the mother and felt that he had electricity
and called 911 ”.
A case was opened in the UFI No. 5 of the Morón judicial department, in charge of the prosecutor Claudio Oviedo, as an investigation of causes of death and it was ordered that autopsies be carried out.
