00:00In the last few hours, the results of the necropsia of Tito Nelson Martínez Hernández,
00:05his wife Viviana Andrea Canro Zuluaga, and his son Kevin, of 4 years old,
00:09who were found without life the past 11th of July in a hotel Portobelo Convention in San Andrés.
00:15Initially, it was a possible intoxication for food, but that hypothesis was discarded.
00:20The investigation focused on the conditions of the hotel,
00:23which had contracted a company of fumigation.
00:25According to the results revealed, the cause of the death was inhalation
00:29of fosfina, a highly toxic gas that caused anoxia in the family.
00:33The anoxia, according to the University of Navarra, is the absence of total oxygen in the body.
00:39It is a grave condition that can lead to a multiorgánico or a paro cardiorespiratory.
00:44It can be presented in different ways, for example, when the lungs do not capture enough oxygen,
00:49when the blood does not transport it adequately, or when the cells do not fix it.
00:53The substance found in the room, the fosfina, is a gas in color,
00:57with odor to fish or a ajo, which figures in the international list of dangerous substances.
01:02According to the Agencia for Sustancias Tóxicas and the Registro of Enfermedades of the United States,
01:07it is used as fumigant to control insects and roeders, and also in the chemical industry and electronics.
01:13The exposure to this gas can cause symptoms such as nauseas,
01:16vomit, difficulty respiratoria, edema pulmonar, convulsions and, in cases graves, death.
01:21In the children, the effects are similar to the adults, but with greater risk of complications
01:27cardiac and pulmonares.
01:28According to the official information, the chemical that caused the intoxication
01:32corresponds to a substance used without our authorization,
01:35by the company of fumigation Livingston and Company,
01:38in flagrant violation of the protocol established, says the hotel comunicator.
01:43They also mentioned that they trusted in the company,
01:45by their experience in these processes, but that the report of the substance used
01:49were different to the found in the necrops, which indicates inconsistencies in their actuation.
