La Plata judge informs of new storm victim found, death toll rises to 52

A La Plata judge reported the finding of a new victim who died in the city’s flash flood last week, elevating the death toll to 52.

Judge Luis Federico Arias informed that the victim’s body, identified as 51-year-old Juan Carlos García, was found hours after the flood and died “as consequence of a trauma produced by the storm.”

Through a press release, the judge informed that García’s name is not included in the official list of victims provided by the Buenos Aires province government.

The announcement comes a few hours after the provincial government announced that not more victims had been found after the storm.
