The bodies of 41-year-old Gisela Mercedes Yurka and her 7-year-old son Gabriel Saru Ovejero were found lifeless in a room at the Hotel Ker in Recoleta, Buenos Aires. The woman had multiple self-inflicted cuts, while the boy died from asphyxia, likely by drowning. The family had been searching for them since the previous Thursday, and authorities are investigating the circumstances.
On Friday morning, the manager of the Hotel Ker in Buenos Aires' Recoleta neighborhood discovered the bodies of Gisela Mercedes Yurka and her son Gabriel Saru Ovejero in the bathroom of room 306. The 41-year-old woman and 7-year-old boy had checked in for just one night but did not return home, prompting their family to search for them since Thursday.
A preliminary examination showed Yurka had 11 cuts on her forearms and two on her neck, wounds authorities deem self-inflicted. The boy died from asphyxia, presumably due to drowning. No one in the family circle can explain the tragic event, and Buenos Aires authorities are working to establish the exact causes of death.
Initial reports mention no signs of external involvement, suggesting a possible desperate act. Police and forensic experts continue their analysis to confirm details and rule out other scenarios.
