Natalia was found unresponsive in a building near the intersection of Avenida José María Vértiz and Concepción Béistegui in the Narvarte neighborhood. She died at the scene.
Local media reported that she may have died after fleeing from a taxi driver to avoid paying him, but reading between the lines it sounds like she might have been beaten and robbed elseware and either flagged down a cab to escape or been attacked by the taxi driver himself, before running away and entering the building where she died.
An investigation for the crime of culpable homicide was opened by the police. As her body was found with breasts exposed and trousers open it is presumed that she also suffered an attempted sexual assault.
Like so many cases we may never know anything more about her or what really happened, but it's pretty clear that she was a victim of some kind of violence.
