The shock and terror led to a shock that he could not tolerate and he died of cardiorespiratory arrest after an assault in a house in the northern neighborhood of La Plata.
The victim: a well-known 57-year-old notary public who was attacked this Friday morning by at least
five armed robbers who entered his home,
where his mother was also.
As confirmed by
Clarín
, a source from the investigation, the episode occurred in a house located on Calle 38 between 11 and 12, in an area of houses and chalets near the center of the provincial capital, owned by the mother of the man who died before him. Paramedics could help you.
It has not yet been determined how five armed men entered.
The thieves managed to take
a thousand dollars
and escaped in a white car.
It was at that moment that the notary public
Esteban Rafael Morcillo
collapsed in an attempt to prevent them from escaping.
"They entered the house and there was the owner with her son,
who ran out to ask for help
. They told us that he died of a heart problem," said one of the neighbors who spoke to the police.
The area was shocked by the arrival of patrolmen and relatives of Morcillo.
The family always lived in that sector of the city and scenes of anguish were seen among those who approached the place.
Neighbors who noticed the situation managed to call the ambulance and upon arrival the doctors carried out resuscitation work, but they could not save his life.
Black pudding was a graduate of the UNLP and since he began his professional career as a notary, he had an active participation in collegiate institutions.
He became president of the Colegio de La Plata (2010/2014, for two consecutive terms) and also a councilor of the entity at the provincial level.
Father of four children, he was divorced.
One of the daughters is a lawyer and the other is a professional soccer player.
Justina (21) works in the Primera de River and is also a member of the national team of that sport.
The devotion to sports was transmitted to him by this lawyer who, since 1999, had a notary's office in the Plaza Olazábal area (near where he died).
Fanatic fan of Gymnastics and Fencing, he spent hours in discussions and talks about the routes of the Bosque de la Plata team.
Notary public Esteban Morcillo died of a heart attack during a violent robbery at his home in La Plata.
The father, Héctor Morcillo, was also a notary public.
He passed away a year ago.
"Esteban was a respected professional, a man of integrity, honorable. Firm in his positions, he always spoke up front,"
a notary who shared several years of management in the commissions of the La Plata college told
Clarín .
Esteban frequently visited his 84-year-old mother in her modern-style house on 38th Avenue. He took care of some paperwork and controlled her movements.
Morcillo had no health problems: "At least not that we knew the acquaintances of the groups of notaries that we always keep in contact with," another colleague told this newspaper.
It was on one of those visits that he found this unexpected ending.
The attackers would have entered the house after barring one of the openings.
When they managed to win the environments, they kept the occupants immobile and began to check every corner.
The whole thing would have stretched out for about 15 minutes.
That section of 38th avenue is very busy in the early hours of the morning.
It is one of the paths required to access the court area and part of the city center.
Even those who arrive from the city of Buenos Aires by highway.
When they managed to escape with the money and other valuables, Morcillo ran desperately to find help or to be arrested.
It was during this attempt that he collapsed on the sidewalk.
The prosecutor's office involved in the case, in charge of Virginia Bravo, is now waiting for the
analysis of the security cameras
installed in the area, which could have recorded key images of both the arrival and the flight of the assailants who caused the death of the notary public from La Plata .
