The young Kevin Wladimir Paredes Jiménez, 25 years old, who died last Sunday in Bera (Navarra), died from carbon monoxide inhalation and not from the burns caused by the alleged explosion of an electronic device, an issue that the Guard is still investigating. Civil. That is the conclusion reached by the autopsy carried out on the young man at the Basque Institute of Legal Medicine in Bilbao, where he was transferred after his death was confirmed in the Burns Unit of the Cruces Hospital.
The autopsy basically concludes that the burns that the young man had were not fatal and that, on the contrary, the young man would have inhaled carbon monoxide, something that would have been fatal.
Now, the investigation focuses on knowing why the fire broke out in the room where Paredes was sleeping. Two hypotheses are considered. The first is that the fire had its origin in the electronic device that was plugged into the power. The second is that a short circuit occurred in the electrical installation of the home.
The Civil Guard agents were able to verify that the headboard of the bed where the young man was resting was burned and, likewise, they detected that the electronic device plugged into the electrical current was burned.
The young man was in cardiorespiratory arrest when they arrived and, once he was treated by the emergency health services, he was transferred to the Burns Unit of the Cruces Hospital, in Barakaldo. Unfortunately, they couldn’t do anything for his life.
