Using that shortcut, there was a need to pass under a perimeter fence the top railing of which was formed by a length of railroad track rail. That top rail became displaced, fell on Sr. Echeverr\u00eda Ram\u00edrez and fatally injured him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We note that some of the media reports provided below make indications that the victim fell on the rail instead of the opposite. Third party communications with individuals at Montevideo port confirm that the heavy rail&#8217;s falling weight was decisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Links to Media
