A 12-year-old boy died after being electrocuted while playing in a flooded street amid a fierce storm that hit the province of Tucumán in Argentina. The tragic incident occurred on Jujuy Street at 2800 in the southern part of the provincial capital, opposite a wholesale supermarket. The boy, identified as Lisandro, was in the accumulated floodwater when, for reasons still under investigation, he came into contact with an electric current and died instantly in front of neighbors. The scene caused a strong impact in the neighborhood, and witnesses recounted that everything happened in a matter of seconds, in a context of streets completely covered with water after several hours of intense rainfall. The victim was the only son of his family and was in the last year of primary school, according to the local news outlet Contexto Tucumán, highlighting the profound grief that grips the school community and the boy's relatives. As the investigation progresses to determine possible technical responsibilities, the Tucumán police await the results of the autopsy and reports from specialists on the electrical connections in the area.
