Missing Argentine protester's body identified before poll

BUENOS AIRES The family of a young protester who went missing in Argentina nearly three months ago identified his body on Friday, said a brother of the dead man to journalists after leaving the morgue. Investigators discovered a body on Tuesday in the Chubut River in Patagonia, near where Santiago Maldonado was last seen at an indigenous rights protest on Aug. 1."We recognised Santiago's tattoos so we are convinced it is Santiago," said Sergio Maldonado, the brother, after the family identified the body in Buenos Aires.
