Thanks for the posts. I checked them out and thought them quite interesting, however, there is no mention of Oscar's actual burial. :)

Okay, here's the problem.

Bonavena's body was transported by hearse from Luna Stadium to Chacarita Cemetery eight days after death. It is highly unlikely that the mausoleum was built in time. Moreoever, the Bonavena's were not wealthy people, making it probable that Oscar was buried in the ground and then the mausoleum was later erected.


The origin of the mausoleum is also in question. Some people say that Sally Conforte paid for it, but I've also heard that she tried to build a stadium, or a statue, but actually did not accomplish any of it.

When the mausoleum was built and by whom, I don't know.

If Oscar was buried in the ground and then later moved into an above-ground tomb, or into a subterranean chamber, I don't know and I can't find any real information on it.

Those videos you've linked to don't address these issues.
