A boat returning from the islands to Gobernador Gálvez turned around on Saturday, March 2, in the middle of a fierce storm in the waters of the Paraná River.
Six people were traveling.
After the incident, they managed to rescue four of the crew.
Two of the young people disappeared.
After 11 days of intense search, and in the middle of the river flooding,
they found the lifeless body of Valentín Carreras
.
Aaron Maciel is still missing.
The police report stated that
it was fishermen who found
the body of the 21-year-old young man in the Paraná River this Wednesday.
He was intercepted near the Cargill port, in Punta Alvear.
After the discovery, the Naval Prefecture allowed the young man's relatives to recognize him.
The young man played soccer
on a local team in Villa Diego Oeste, a children's soccer club in Villa Gobernador Gálvez.
At least, this was shown by someone close to the victim, Aldana F., who uploaded a heartfelt post on the social network Facebook and included photos of Valentín.

"May you Rest in Peace Valen beautiful!!! Fly High. - he wrote -. He was Valentín Carreras from the 2004 class of our beloved Villa Diego Oeste, one of the many boys who passed through the club and whom I had the pleasure of meeting and watching him play. Sometimes getting angry about the games, but above all seeing him smile. I will always remember you," he described.
"My deepest condolences and strength to your family at this painful moment," concluded Aldana F.
Valentín Carreras was remembered on Facebook.
The search continues
We still have to find 20-year-old Maciel, who since the fateful afternoon of March 2, nothing has been known about him.
That Saturday, the young people fell into the river in the so-called "Maipú descent."
They were returning to Gobernador Gálvez where they are from, after spending a holiday on the islands.
The tragedy unfolded around 5:00 p.m., when in the middle of a brutal storm, the boat capsized.
Aaron Maciel, the young man who is still missing.
Four of the crew were rescued by other boats that were around the area, but Valentín and Aaron were left adrift and disappeared.
Since then, Prefecture staff, family and friends of the young people have been searching.
Social networks support the request for "donations" to be able to collaborate with the search for the 20-year-old young man.
The campaign on the networks does not stop and the request is diverse.
From boats to life jackets, flashlights, gasoline, reflectors or any element that collaborates with the search, which so far has not produced the expected results.
