Teenager dies from electrocution at Misiones school

A tragic accident claimed the life of a 13-year-old boy in Misiones, Argentina, after he was electrocuted on the roof of a school. The incident occurred at School No. 463 “Ingeniero Francisco Devoto” in the El Pesado area of San Antonio.

The boy was reportedly on the school's roof with his 14-year-old cousin when he received a fatal electric shock. The exact cause of the electrocution is still under investigation. He was rushed to a local hospital, but medical personnel confirmed he had no vital signs upon arrival.

An initial report indicated the teenager sustained injuries to his hands and lower limbs consistent with electrocution. His body was subsequently released to his family for burial arrangements.

Judicial authorities have ordered the school to be preserved and placed under police custody. This measure aims to secure the scene for forensic analysis to determine how the electrocution occurred. Investigations are ongoing to clarify the circumstances surrounding the boy's death.
