Investigation Underway
A thorough investigation is currently being conducted into the discovery of a male body in a field near 18 de Mayo, in Canelones. The victim, estimated to be between 20 and 30 years old, was found with a gunshot wound to the head.
According to police sources, the wound had an entrance point but no exit point, suggesting that the bullet may still be lodged in the victim’s head. Further details about the circumstances surrounding the death are expected to be revealed following the autopsy, which is scheduled to take place shortly.
Autopsy and Forensic Analysis
The autopsy results will provide crucial information about the nature of the homicide, including the type of firearm used and the possible time of death. Additionally, forensic experts will examine the scene to determine whether the crime occurred at the location where the body was found or if it was committed elsewhere and the body was subsequently moved.
The body was discovered by a local resident who stumbled upon the scene while passing by. Although firefighters responded to the area, the fire had already been extinguished by the time they arrived, and they did not enter the specific area where the body was found.
Notably, the victim’s body was wrapped in a tarp, believed to be from a swimming pool, which may serve as a potential piece of evidence in the investigation.
