one dead and one seriously injured

happened in an apartment located on Hipólito Yrigoyen Street
, almost on the corner of Buenos Aires. For reasons to be established, it set itself on fire during the early hours of the morning and trapped three students from Jujuy who had arrived just a month ago to study at the National University of Córdoba.
The young people
were surprised by the flames while they were sleeping
and since the apartment door was blocked by the fire, they tried to escape through a window.

The young man was left hanging from the window of the apartment that caught fire and left one dead. The desperate encouragement of the neighbors.
Late on Thursday, Sebastián, the father of the fatal victim, arrived in Córdoba to repatriate the body to his native province.
“I came for a few hours and took him with me. “I still don’t know anything about what happened
,” she said in the midst of pain. And he added: “Some relatives stayed here in Córdoba for a few more days to close some things.”
Meanwhile, Justice is investigating what happened in that apartment during the early hours of the morning. Until now, researchers have three hypotheses.
Tiziano Tejerina was 18 years old and had arrived in Córdoba to study a degree in Dentistry.
According to the site El Doce, a failure in the electrical system is one of them. Although the facilities were inspected and all are in good condition, it has not been ruled out.
Another is a failure in the gas pipes. Neighbors had been reporting this type of problems days ago, so specialists reviewed them. So far, they haven't found any problems either.
The last one, and the one that is most relevant for now, is that of an explosion of an electrical device that was plugged in and that had a malfunction that caused it to explode.
The dramatic video of the student who hung himself from the window
The videos that were released of the fire in the Córdoba building make your skin crawl. During the last hours, new images appeared showing how a boy managed to escape the flames by
hanging from the windows in order to escape
and save his life.
The protagonist of the escape is Pablo Acasa, one of the three young students from Jujuy who was in the apartment and who managed to descend to a balcony on the 11th floor. He ended up being rescued by firefighters who entered through the adjacent complex.

The recording from a cell phone reflects the desperation and how the young man manages to get down from one balcony to another, while a neighbor encourages him and gives him strength. “Don't let go, don't let go,” she yells at him while she screams for help when she sees such a scene. Higher up, the flames seem to devour everything in its path.
Hours later, an American influencer identified as Curtis Leo Bolduc shared a longer sequence of the same terrifying moment on his Instagram account. There you can see how the boy managed to enter another of the homes.
“It was a very dramatic night. What appears to have been a gas explosion caused the flames to grow so quickly that they trapped three men in a building. We woke up, looked out our balcony and found this young man trapped, outside the window. Very relieved to see him come in. The other two tenants fell 30 meters, one dying and the other in critical condition,” he wrote online.
