According to witnesses, the soldier was drinking a bottle of water that he had bought moments before at a grocery store, when he began to feel very unwell.\n\nJos\u00e9 Santiago, the owner of the establishment, reported that he observed the officer putting his hands to his chest, so he immediately alerted the 9-1-1 emergency system and provided him with a chair so he could sit down.\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We recommend reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/enlaces\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"491852\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Family of \u201cChori\u201d denounce that they are not receiving a complaint and demand justice<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/category\/nacionales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n&#8220;He sat down, tried to recover, stood up, but felt bad again.

Although the emergency units arrived within minutes, the officer was no longer showing vital signs.\n\nAgents from the Central Investigation Directorate (Dicrim) and representatives of the Public Ministry went to the scene, who initiated the corresponding investigations.
