Days later, she was notified that his name appeared on a list of deceased persons from the Legal Medical Institute whose bodies had been sent to the General Cemetery. When she went to verify the information, she confirmed that he had been buried in Patio No. 29.

A few days later, officials from the Investigations Police arrived looking for him, without stating their motives.
