This Wednesday, March 2, the funeral of Roberto Tigrero González, a fisherman from Santa Rosa, Salinas canton, Santa Elena province, who died on the high seas due to an accident with a boat, took place on January 22.
Twelve days after the tragedy, the man’s body appeared in a state of decomposition. He was already in the neighboring country, in Peruvian territory.
But since then, his family could not say goodbye to him, due to the legal procedures that they had to follow in Peru and his subsequent repatriation.
César Tigrero, brother of the deceased, commented that he traveled several times to remove the body of his relative, but it was not possible at first.

There they undertook the return trip in a vehicle.
After this journey, around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1, they were able to reach the 15 de Septiembre neighborhood.
