Well everyone, I was up late and couldn’t sleep so I figured now was as good a time as any to revisit the tragic case of Gonzalo Lira and his untimely passing. Especially considering this date-January 12th-is the two-year anniversary of his supposed “death”.
Please note that I am not trying to be in any way sarcastic or unsympathetic towards him or his family, but rather towards the authorities who “apparently” let him waste away in their care. And that’s putting it mildly. In all likelihood, they either let Lira die, or ensured that he would succumb to his illnesses various as they may have been.
I was actually quite fond of Lira and thought his work was honest, if a bit blunt. If nothing else, let’s all pray for his family that they find peace and answers over the next few years.
