Hugo Arce
Unknown
Hugo Arce arrived at the Hotel Conquistador at 5am on 23 January and asked for a room.
Four hours later his wife arrived bringing some medication but got no reply from her husband and asked hotel staff to force the door. The journalist’s body was lying on the bed, with a blood-stained towel around his chest and his own revolver in his right hand.
Police said after preliminary investigations that suicide was the most likely cause of death, but his family said they did not rule out murder.
