Cesar Requeiro who died on the way to the hospital, but the death was not due to suffocation as originally reported by the Argentine media.
Marca journalist Juan Castro, who followed the match in La Plata between Gimnasium Esgrima and Boca Juniors, reveals how Cesar Requeiro’s death came about.
“According to the initial versions, the man in all that chaos lost his grandson’s sight, which caused a heart attack. He was a grandfather of 57 years. “In addition, eight fans ended up in the hospital with minor injuries, most of them due to tear gas inhalation,” Castro said.
Chaos at the Del Bosque Stadium in La Plata erupted when police used tear gas to prevent chaos outside the gates because there were too many home fans.
“There could easily have been one or more stampedes of people and the death toll could have been much higher.” Thank God that many people were sensible and ran in panic,” added Castro.
