"She drank a lot of water - in fact she asked for a bottle to be carried twice - and she was very excited," said a witness with whom

went to the beach on Sunday morning, before decompensating and being rushed to hospital. to the Interzonal Hospital, where he died hours later due to an overdose.
The boy met the young tourist from Berisso, La Plata, at the bakery that adjoins the building where she and her friends had rented an apartment.
"Her friends went to sleep, she didn't, and there she met these guys who came from another party and were buying bills. They talked about going to an after-party, there wasn't one, and
they went to the beach

A tourist died in Mar del Plata after going to an electronic party.
That had been
the last night they were going to spend in Mar del Plata
;
The same Sunday they returned.
"She came down, she didn't want to go to sleep, and she met a group of guys at the bakery," she explained.
They went to Las Toscas Beach, the one in front of the Havanna building, and spent almost three hours.
According to the testimony of the witness, who appeared spontaneously before the prosecutor Fernando Berlingeri, from UFI N°4, "on the beach Florencia did not drink mate because she knew, being a nutritionist, that it would dehydrate her: '
What I have to drink is water
,' he told him."
Another witness, from the same beach, confirmed in the file that the young woman approached him twice and asked him if he could carry the 2-liter plastic bottle, which he did.
"She drank a lot of water and she was very excited
," the witness told the prosecutor.
At 10:40, Florencia was back in the apartment, minutes later she broke down.
Frightened, her friends immediately called the emergency room and in a SAME ambulance she was transferred to the Interzonal General Acute Hospital: she arrived with
severe convulsions
.
The doctors had to mechanically assist her so she could breathe.
At 11:40, she died.
The cause: respiratory failure as a result of poisoning,
"an overdose
," a source in the case with access to the file told this newspaper.
The young man who declared having been with her on the beach maintained that
at no time did he see her ingest any type of substance
, he had not even agreed to drink mate from her.
The suspicion of the family and friends of Yturrioz, a nutritionist who graduated from the National University of La Plata and a physical education teacher, was based on "the absolutely healthy life" that she led and promoted (on Instagram, through @nutriendohabitos. fy, posted recipes and gave healthy eating advice), suggests that someone, deceiving her,
would have drugged her
.
The hypothesis could not be confirmed
in court
.
The preliminary forensic report ruled that the young woman had traces of methamphetamine, a synthetic drug,
ecstasy
, in her blood .
"We are investigating, but in principle it does not seem to be a death linked to a criminal act," said a judicial source.
Detecting who provided the drugs at that party of thousands, at first seems like
an impracticable task
.
Since Sunday, the networks reported the shock caused by the death of the young nutritionist, with dozens of messages from friends, students and relatives.
Her boyfriend, Santiago Fernández, said goodbye: "Fly high, love."
"Today is the ugliest day of my life, today I have to say goodbye to you and say see you soon because I'm sure we will see each other again, my nutri, my black girl, my cuchuflina. I could go on all day because of the way we treated each other, We laughed and
how happy we were always moving forward together
," he wrote.
"Fly high love and show everyone where you are how incredible you are, send us a lot of strength and guide us on this new path.
Shine and guide us, my angel
," he wrote and uploaded photos of both.
