The man who had been detained in connection with the death of his mother at a family home in Grado, Asturias, was released this morning by the presiding magistrate of the local court. The initial order did not establish direct evidence linking him to the event, and the investigation remains open. Authorities emphasized that progress in the forensic examination had been made, yet the full report and any additional evidence gathered by investigators are still needed to reach a final conclusion.
Based on the current records and the statements collected so far, officials noted that there was not enough circumstantial proof to justify further detention. Nevertheless, the inquiry continues as prosecutors seek to determine the precise circumstances surrounding the death of 69-year-old Alicia Rodriguez Blanco. The case has drawn attention due to questions about the sequence of events that led to her death and whether other factors contributed to the outcome.
The son, who was detained after a doctor who attended the residence did not record the death as natural causes, remains a central figure in the ongoing inquiry. Officials indicated that the incident may have followed a domestic dispute that escalated at the time of the incident. While the immediate cause of the collapse remains uncertain, investigators are pursuing the possibility that a natural decline could have been influenced by preexisting health conditions, or, alternatively, that another intervention may have played a role. The post-mortem analysis has not yet provided a definitive determination on whether natural factors or human actions contributed to the death. The investigative team has stressed that the examination is continuing and additional evidence will be sought to clarify the sequence of events.
All reported echoes of the incident point to the location of a residence at a crossing in Grado, where the events unfolded on a Monday night. Local authorities have pledged to maintain transparency as the findings evolve, while ensuring that the investigation adheres to established legal standards and procedural safeguards. The community awaits further updates as forensic results, witness testimonies, and any new investigative leads are assessed in the coming days.
