The family of the 16-year-old teenager who died on March 6 after breaking a screen and falling with another 19-year-old boy down the stairwell of a housing building in Móstoles asks that the facts be clarified, warns of the fragility of the partition and denounces that someone spread photos of the minor in the hospital bed without permission.
The building belongs to the City Council and has not given explanations, nor has it given condolences to the family for the death.
The 19-year-old boy, Juan, was injured and was admitted to the Puerta de Hierro hospital in Majadahonda.
Leo Alexandre Ntone Estouck will be buried next Saturday in the municipal cemetery, in whose funeral home he will be held a wake the day before so that his family, friends and classmates from the Manuela Malasaña Institute can say their last goodbyes.
Leopold, Leo's father, born in Cameroon and with Spanish nationality, maintains in the statement he gave to the National Police, in charge of investigating the accident, that the "glass" (or hard plastic) that protects the stairwell is fragile and has also asked the police to clarify how the accident occurred.
That day Leo had met a friend to play the video game, but before that he stopped by another friend's house to go together.
Leo went up to the third floor of number 1 in Plaza del Sol, where he knocked on his friend's door, but the one who left the house was his cousin, Juan, 19 years old.
It is not known why, Leo and Juan maintained a struggle that led them against the screen, which fractured from half height down and both fell into the void from more than six meters into an interior patio of the building.
As a result of the fall, Leo had severe chest and head trauma and, after being intubated by the Summa 112 health workers, was transferred in a very serious condition to the Doce de Octubre hospital, while Juan was admitted to the Puerta de Hierro hospital, in Majadahonda, with various injuries and fractures.
Since the day of the tragic accident, the succession of adversities and sorrows that Leo's family is suffering have not stopped.
Juan's family has offered an account of events peppered with contradictions, according to Leo's parents and sister, Reinette, 22, who maintain that Juan and Leo were not friends.
In addition, during the three days that Leo remained in the Doce de Octubre hospital, someone took and distributed photos and a video without the consent of the family, which is a crime.
Leo's father has thanked the support that the social services of Móstoles are giving him and requests the help of a psychologist that they offered to face the tragedy, especially for his daughter, who "is very ill."
In the statement he gave at the police station, Leo's father stressed that the "glass was not of quality or thick enough; and it wobbled when touched with the hand to push it."
He has missed the fact that the Móstoles City Council, owner of the building where the accident occurred, has not contacted this "humble" family to offer condolences.
"We want to bury him in Móstoles because Leo was born here, grew up here and studied here," stressed Leopold Notne, who has asked for clarification of what happened on the landing of the stairs because the version of Juan's family "has Changed a lot".
