, a 72-year-old woman who was missing two days ago under the rubble of the collapsed house in Floresta, was found this Friday by Personnel from the Emergency and Relief Guard, Firefighters and the Police of the City.
Official sources reported that, around 4:00 p.m., members of the different forces that are part of the search tasks found
a body under the rubble
of the building located at Avenida Rivadavia 8,758 that collapsed in the early hours of last Wednesday for reasons that are still unknown. they don't know
Alberto Crescenti, director of SAME, confirmed this Friday the appearance of "the lady who was being searched for" and that, "according to the injuries found", the death
of the woman occurred "in the act, when she fell the masonry"
.
After the collapse of the building, in which a 12-year-old girl and a 19-year-old boy died and more than 30 people were injured, Cherre Ruiz's family reported her disappearance and the search focused on finding her.
It had been suspended on Thursday night due to the risk of new landslides and was resumed hours later.
This morning the debris removal tasks were resumed, to which they had incorporated a state-of-the-art super-crane to find the woman.
There, the head of the City's Aid and Emergency Guard, Walter Gómez Diz, assured that "the structures that collapsed were practically supported in the air", which made it difficult to prop them up to enter.
"
The dogs marked a sector
, where there is a construction on top of the other that, even if they are precarious, are made with cement, bricks and rods and it was very risky that personnel from the Aid Guard, Civil Defense or Firemen began to carry out a search and remove masonry or remains of materials because there is a possibility of collapse," the official added this morning.
The other two fatalities from the collapse
In addition to Felicitas Cherre Ruiz, Jefferson Aquino (19) and Gabriela Jamile (12) also died as a result of the collapse, while 30 other people were injured.
The collapse occurred at the rear of the house, about fifteen meters from where most of the clandestine buildings were.
The collapsed slabs belonged to a terrace and part of the first floor, all constructions that added to the original house when it was intruded, so they are structures that did not have professional supervision or were approved by the Buenos Aires Government.
The area of Floresta where the tragedy occurred has several houses taken over in situations similar to those of the collapse.
Something that is also repeated in Flores, on streets like Yerbal or Juan Bautista Alberdi.
Although some residents of the neighborhood told Clarín that the place had been denounced, the Buenos Aires government reported that they have no records in this regard.
In addition, they explained that the inspections are made based on complaints of illegal works or of another nature.
