Preliminary autopsy findings reveal that Carlos "Indio" Solari, the iconic Argentine rock musician, died from a hemorrhagic stroke. The incident occurred as he was entering the heated pool at his home, according to the General Prosecutor's Office of Morรณn.
The investigation determined that Solari entered the indoor pool during the early morning hours. He passed away instantly due to the stroke, with no signs of drowning. A caregiver and Solari's wife discovered his body in the water and attempted resuscitation, but medical professionals were unsuccessful.
While the definitive cause awaits further studies, the preliminary conclusion points to a non-traumatic hemorrhagic stroke. This new information provides crucial clarification, as Solari's death had initially been linked to complications from Parkinson's disease, a condition he publicly disclosed in 2016.
Solari, a highly influential figure in Argentine rock and founder of 'Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota,' progressively withdrew from performing due to his illness. His final concert in 2017 drew an estimated 300,000 people, marking a historic event in Argentine music. Despite his cultural significance, the Argentine government announced that his remains would not be displayed at the National Congress, citing infrastructure and security concerns.
