Crew member died of heart attack
On Dec 6, 2021, a crew member of the 'Betanzos' died of a cardiorespiratory arrest after boarding the ship in the port of Punta Arenas at the Prat dock. Short time after the vessel sailed, he began to show symptoms of discomfort. The Austral Port Company alerted the Maritime Authority of Punta Arenas which sent a Maritime Police Patrol. Despite the efforts made by the police and the SAMU, the medical personnel had to confirm the death of the crew member after having carried out almost an hour of resuscitation. Personnel from the PDI Homicide Brigade also attended the scene. The body was later transferred to the Servicio Médico Legal.
