Dead Dominican despot still, officially, alive

Santo Domingo.- At 3pm Monday Mr. Fernando Nuñez submitted the documents to sign the death certificate of the late ex president late Joaquin Balaguer, which had yet to be issued10 years after his burial.

The late declaration of Balaguer’s deaths was submitted to the National District Office of the Registrar, where a judge has to issue the definitive ruling.

Prior to his death on July 14, 2002, the former president donated some lands to the Catholic University of Cibao (UCATECI), but title couldn’t be transferred because of the lack of Balaguer’s death certificate.
