Santo Domingo.- Family members, community leaders, and religious representatives held a demonstration to demand that authorities clarify the death of teenager Anser Daniel Rincón, a 15-year-old baseball prospect who was found lifeless in a lagoon in the Sierra Prieta community, on the Villa Mella–Yamasá highway, behind the José Méndez baseball sports academy.
The minor’s father, Daniel Rincón, expressed his concern regarding the lack of official responses about the circumstances of his son’s death, which occurred four months ago.
As he explained, the teenager was developing his sports training at a baseball academy when the incident occurred.
Although it was initially reported that the preliminary cause of death was drowning, the family asserts that they are still awaiting the final autopsy results. “What we want is for what happened to be clarified. Four months have passed and we still do not have an answer. My son was seeking his future in baseball and we need to know what really happened,” the father stated during a peaceful demonstration held in the streets of the La Ceiba community.
