With a prayer asking for protection for the volunteers from the various rescue agencies, including Comandos de Salvamento, who this day resumed the search for a man who, on the night of last Friday, jumped into the waters of the Agua Fría River, in Colonia Callejas, Cantón Santa Lucía, in Cuidad Arce, Departamento of La Libertad.

From the early hours, volunteers from Comandos de Salvamento, the Red Cross, and Protección Civil Municipal de Ciudad Arce began searching downstream, hoping to find Daniel Eliseo Hernández, 30, still alive. He made the fatal decision at around 7:30 p.m.

The search efforts were suspended late at night and resumed this morning to locate Hernández’s body. After 18 hours of intense searching, the body was located in the waters of the Agua Caliente River, in the sector known as Agua Zarca, Cantón San Andrés, still in La Libertad.

Comandos de Salvamento, Red Cross personnel, and Protección Civil recovered the body to hand it over to fiscal, police, and Legal Medicine authorities for its official identification, after which the corpse would be handed over to his relatives.
