On the other hand, the lawyer pointed out that there is another case in the Correctional Court No. 2 that investigates whether the brewery had “the corresponding authorization and permits” for its operation. The tragic situation happened when one of the workers of the bar wanted to recharge with a liquid the torch inside a small container used as a centerpiece, which overturned and caused the partial explosion in the place. As a result, eight people were injured and were taken to Larcade Hospital and the Larcade Burn Institute. The only fatality was Lucia, who suffered serious burns that caused her death in the health center where she was hospitalized. For his part, Maximiliano, the uncle of the young woman, denounced at the time of the accident that there was “abandonment of person because while the clients were leaving the place, nobody attended to the injured young woman.” The event was recorded in a video that was released minutes after the fact.
