It was also noted at this time that it was Sebastian’s second suicide attempt and, as for the victim’s father “insists blamefully that he [Danilo Furlan] has been very demanding toward his son about his rehabilitation and that it is such insistence has been the cause of what has happened to Sebastian.”32 46. Sebastian was a fair student, who in 1988 was in his first year at E.N.E.T. [National Technical Education School] No. 1 of Ciudadela when the accident occurred. The following May he returned to school “with serious deficiencies”33. Prior to the accident, he also attended the Private Oriental Institute (Shinkai Karate-Do School), and took part in sports activities at the Ciudadela Norte Club, in both basketball and swimming; however, as a result of the accident, he was forced to stop all sports activities, which was greatly upsetting to him.34 47. On February 3, 1994, when Sebastian was 19 years of age, his uncle filed charges against him at the Police Station for beating his 84-year-old grandmother. According to the complaint, on December 18, 1993 Sebastian had gone to her house and “without uttering a word punched her [his grandmother] in the face and then continued hitting her,”35 causing multiple injuries on her face and fracturing her right arm, for which she was hospitalized from December 18 to 23, 1993.36 In light of the strong evidence that Sebastian had committed the “crime of serious bodily harm”, the judge ordered his preventive detention on February 21, 1994.37 30 Based on a search conducted by the IACHR, when a person is deemed hemodynamically stable, it means no alterations of the heart are observed. 31 Case proceeding file titled “Furlan Sebastian Claus v National State for Damages”, page 151.
