Argentine rock legend 'El Indio' Solari dies at 77

Carlos "El Indio" Solari, a legendary figure in Argentine rock and the founder of the influential band Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, has died at the age of 77. His death was confirmed on Friday, June 5, at his home in Parque Leloir, Ituzaingó.

An official statement from the Morón General Prosecutor's Office detailed that Solari was found unresponsive by household staff. The private medical emergency service was alerted by his caregiver upon her arrival at 8 a.m. The prosecutor's office has initiated an investigation, with prosecutor Lucio Rivero leading the inquiry. Forensic experts from the Buenos Aires Provincial Police were called to the scene, and a medico-legal autopsy was ordered to determine the precise cause of death.

Despite the ongoing investigation, police sources quickly clarified that the procedure was standard and that "nothing indicates or points to a cause of death other than his illness." Solari had publicly disclosed his Parkinson's diagnosis in March 2016 during a concert.

Partial autopsy results released later on Friday indicated that Solari died from a hemorrhagic stroke, a complication of his Parkinson's disease. The incident reportedly occurred in the early morning hours while he was in the indoor heated pool at his home. Judicial authorities confirmed that there was no drowning or suffering involved, with the stroke causing immediate death.
