On the night of the event, which took place in July 2021, a medical team arrived at the place where “Chano” was staying with the intention of hospitalizing him, following a request from his mother. According to some witnesses, the artist, who was in a drug-related crisisbecame violent and allegedly wanted to stab the policeman Facundo Amendolara with a knife, who shot him.
Following that blow, the former leader of Tan Bionica was hospitalized for 18 days at the Otamendi Sanatorium, where his spleen, a kidney and part of his pancreas had to be removed. Subsequently, he was transferred to a therapeutic center located in the city of Boulogne, in Buenos Aires, to cure him of his addictions. A little more than three months later, on November 4th, he returned to the stage of the Luna Park stadium.
“Bambi” Moreno Charpentier, reviewed two of the police events in which his brother starred.
“I got a call almost 12pm and it was something you can never imagine. We were partners when we were children, we did everything together. And with an old man who wasn’t much, he acted like a big brother with me, “Bambi began his story of him in “PH: We can talk”a program led by Andy Kusnetzoff.
In this sense, he added: “They called me and did not explain to me very well. They told me they shot him. I thought you had a rubber bullet in the leg. He was relatively quiet then, but he was dying and I didn’t know it“.
“I approach the stretcher, I wake him up because he was half unconscious and he says ‘Bambi, I don’t want visitors'”, the musician reviewed, already with a broken voice and wet eyes. And he added: “I said this is crazy. Then they put him in surgery and they told us it saved his life by ten minutes, because bullet wounds must be treated in the first hour ”.
The incredible anecdote after the Chano Charpentier accident
Bambi Charpentier also evoked the road accident his brother suffered in March 2017, when he collided with his Citroën DS4 Crossback in the Saavedra neighborhood of Buenos Aires and recounted a “tragicomic” situation he experienced, due to his resemblance to “Chano”.
“I received a call from the police and they didn’t explain anything to me. I went blind, not knowing what happened. When I got there, part of this incident was a lot of people getting out of the car to go see River. Then they see me, that there is a similarity, and 50 people wanted to punch me against a wall. I didn’t know what she was looking for. I was very scared, “she admitted.
“Bambi” Moreno Charpentier revealed that 50 people wanted to beat him because of his physical resemblance to “Chano”.
Then he expanded: “Then they let me into the police station, I got into an ambulance and found it was devastated because it had been destroyed a lot. They pulled him out of the van and beat him. They broke his eye. “
“He, even in that sea of blood, looked at me and said ‘Bambi, you’re here, are you okay? We had to escape from the police station by ambulance because people didn’t understand, ”the musician complained.
