Police officials later clarified that the victim was 16 years old and had suffered a cardiac arrest when he arrived at the hospital. The hospital staff also noticed several injuries on his body.

The death of this teenager occurred in a situation where the region has been facing unrest in the past days; However, police have not yet confirmed any link between the girl's death and the unrest. Authorities have asked anyone with information about the case to contact police.

At the time of publication of the report, the results of the autopsy and the final decision on possible charges had not been announced. Therefore, the case is still in the initial investigation stage and the responsibility for the death cannot be attributed to a specific person.
