“When we arrived, they told us he had died, that they had been trying to resuscitate him for an hour and he’d had a cardiopulmonary arrest.

“There was nothing they could do.”

Gianinna, meanwhile, first heard the bad news from a psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov.

“[She] told me my father didn’t have a pulse, that they were trying to revive him,” said Gianinna.

“I arrived at my father’s place around 13:00, there were ambulances everywhere.

“The doctor came to tell me there was nothing they could do… I insisted but he said they’d been trying for an hour.”

Jana, Diego’s youngest daughter, heard through a friend and the radio.

“On the way a friend wrote and said ‘I’m here for whatever you need’ but I didn’t give it much thought,” said Jana.

“I got another message of condolence but again I decided not to believe it.

“Then half a block before arriving they announced it on the radio.”
