The former secretary general of the Dominican Liberation Party, Reinaldo Pared Pérez, died this Thursday night in what appears to be a suicide.
Pérez had episodes of depression as a result of health problems caused by a cancer that was detected two years ago and for which he was undergoing treatment.[citation needed]
Pérez died by a suspected suicide on 29 October 2021, at the age of 65 in a summer residence in Juan Dolio, where he spent most of his time after the illness.[2]
