Peru: Ex-President Garcia's remains to be cremated today

01:12 | Lima, Apr. 19.

The remains of ex-President Alan Garcia will be cremated this afternoon at Huachipa's Camposanto Mapfre Cemetery.

During the recent days, supporters, relatives, party members, and politicians arrived at Garcia's wake which takes place at APRA political party headquarters in Lima's Breña district.

Alan Garcia, who served twice as President of Peru, died on Wednesday in the nation's capital city at the age of 69 over a self-inflicted shot to the head.

The ex-Head of State shot himself in the morning after authorities arrived at his home with a 10-day preliminary detention order against him linked to the Odebrecht corruption case investigation.

The Inca country's Executive Branch has declared three days —April 17-19— of national mourning for the death of the ex-President.
