A woman died strangled when her headscarf was entangled in the engine of a generator

A woman died this morning in a strange work accident when, when lighting a generator, her scarf got tangled in the mechanism of the machine and hanged her to death.

The strike took place around 9 am in the Amenábar motel, located at 28:00, President Roca. The victim was identified by the Attorney General's Office as Patricia Ferrugia, 60, an employee of the institution.

According to the MPA, everything happened after an interruption of the energy service in the region. Given this situation, the motel employee went to the location where the generator that houses the accommodation was located.

When the machine was turned on, the scarf that had been twisted around his neck was entangled in the motor and the suction exerted by the mechanism of the machine strangled him and died of suffocation.

After the tragic episode, the prosecutor of the alleged homicide unit Walter Jurado was set up. He ordered austerity measures in these cases, such as the intervention of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Judicial Police and the autopsy of the victim. .
