The cause of death of the retired woman in Morón took a surprising turn after the autopsy revealed that her 27-year-old grandson did not kill her as he had initially confessed. Irma Selva Cáceres, 87 years old, was found dead in her home on Cartagena Street 1600, Morón. Following the discovery, her grandson voluntarily went to the police station and confessed to having strangled her because he was tired of her controlling him.
During hours of detention, the young man repeatedly reaffirmed his statement of having killed her; however, the autopsy completely changed the direction of the investigation. It was determined that the grandson is not criminally responsible due to a mental illness, and he was granted freedom. The forensic report indicated that the cause of death for the woman was pulmonary edema caused by heart failure.
After learning of these results, a Family Court became involved, and a psychiatric assessment of the young man was ordered. Additionally, the focus of the investigation was completely changed, as no signs of asphyxiation were found on Irma's body to support the grandson's initial confession. This news was also confirmed by the media Primer Plano Online.
In this context, it is important to emphasize that the autopsy did not indicate that Irma had been murdered. The subsequent psychiatric assessment confirmed the young man's non-responsibility, thus completely changing the initial perception of the case and opening new lines of investigation to clarify the death of the retired woman in Morón.
