Juan Fernando Navarro Cáceres died that day at 2:00 hours, at the Hospital de Arica, due to severe traumatic brain injury, a fracture of the base of the skull, and a severe cerebral contusion, as indicated by the Death Certificate and the Autopsy Protocol.

According to statements from family members and eyewitnesses to the events, on November 30, around 24:00 hours, while Juan Navarro was heading from his home, located in the población 11 de Septiembre, to his workplace to fulfill a night shift during curfew hours, he was detained by a military patrol.

They searched him and, with kicks and blows from the butts of their rifles, forced him into the vehicle in which the uniformed personnel were traveling. Hours later, he was found on a public road, gravely injured. Transferred to the Hospital de Arica, he passed away moments later.

The Carabineros report that initiated the proceedings stated that the cause of death was a vehicular accident, which was subsequently refuted in the judicial investigation by the Autopsy Report and the statement of the forensic physician who signed it, who asserted that the type of injuries that caused Juan Navarro's death are not those typical of a vehicular accident.

He added that "the lack of abrasions and multiple contusions observed in subjects who have been struck by a vehicle is striking."

Considering the evidence gathered and the investigation carried out by this Corporation, the Superior Council declared Juan Fernando Navarro Cáceres a victim of human rights violations, bearing in mind that the beatings and mistreatment to which he was subjected by State agents during his detention had a decisive influence on his death.
