The death of Santiago "Moro" Garcia continues to resonate in South America and especially in Argentina where he played, and his homeland Uruguay.
Garcia, who belonged to Godoy Cross, was found shot yesterday (Saturday) in his apartment in the city of Mendoza in Argentina after he committed suicide.
The investigator in charge of the case, Claudia Rios, told the media: "We found a man lying on the bed, shot in the right part of the head and next to him a 22 mm diameter gun.
That's all I can give right now. "
Several dozen Godoy Cross fans hurried to gather outside Garcia's apartment yesterday. Most of them cried and when his body was taken out of the apartment into the forensic vehicle, they applauded.
Everyone was talking about a happy and positive guy yesterday. David Ramirez who collaborated with Garcia a few years ago in Godoy Cross, said: "I'm in shock, my stomach is turning over.
I shared a dressing room with Moro and I just can not believe he chose this way ... you should have known him.
A wonderful person, a leader, helping everyone.
I'm just so surprised. "

In retrospect, hints arise of the striker's turbulent soul.
How he sank into depression about a decade ago, when a recent drug test was found positive (more on that below), how he struggled to cope with loneliness in his year at Turkish Ximpasa and how he recently faced personal difficulties after being deducted from Godoy Cross' squad under club president Jose Mansour.
In 2019 he said in a radio interview: "We are not robots, we are not made of steel. Things also happen to us in personal life and it affects our ability on the pitch."
Yesterday everyone remembered the same interview.
Among Godoy Cross fans, criticism was voiced towards the management yesterday, for the player's alleged neglect and insulting treatment that caused his death.
Sports psychologist Marcelo Ropa, who worked with Jose Packerman on the Colombian national team, told local media: "Argentina takes care of footballers physically, but does not take care of the psychological part. In the mental element, in the first league in Argentina only six teams employ a psychologist or".
Garcia, who was 30 at the time of his death, began his career at the Uruguayan national luxury club.
Vice President Alejandro Balbi said last night: "I have known his teacher almost all his life. We talked on Wednesday or Thursday, I told him we were waiting for him. We wanted him to come to us, this is his home. We are all in shock. I know he had difficulties in Godoy Cross, That his relationship with the president was not good ... ".

Along with the dozens of eulogies and sad announcements in the last day, a very ugly story also made headlines that shocked many fans and footballers in South America - no less.
Garcia was acquired by Atletico Paranasa in 2011 for about $ 2 million and was the most valuable player in the club's history.
But a few weeks later it turned out that an examination for the discovery of illicit substances that he had done while he was still playing at National, revealed traces of cocaine in his body.
The Uruguayan association suspended him for two years, but FIFA did not accept the sanction and were not convinced by the test. The striker received permission to continue playing in Brazil, but the stain stuck to him.
Yesterday, after learning of Morro's death, Atletico Parnassa president Mario Celso Patragalia provided a line Disgusting tweets, which he later deleted.
"The most valuable player in the history of Parnassa!" Tweeted Petregalia, "He arrived after being caught using cocaine and later it became clear to us that he was injured in the foot.
We breached the contract with the player without paying compensation nor did we transfer 50 percent of the transfer amount to him.
That way we saved a million dollars. "
Petregalia continued to be astonishing:" We sold his teacher to Turkey and got more than a million dollars from him.
He had no talent and no market.
His representatives sued us because of some clauses in the contract, but it did not work for them!
We are saddened to hear the news about this boy, who has always been problematic. "
