Michael Dwyer (15 June 1984 – 16 April 2009) was shot dead in 2009 by the Bolivian Police Special Forces in the Las Americas Hotel, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia in disputed circumstances.
According to La Prensa, the people who travelled with Dwyer on 17 November 2008 were Tibor Révész, Gábor Dudog and Ivan Pistovcak.
Following a bombing on 15 April at the home of Julio Cardinal Terrazas, the following day at around 4:00 a.m. thirty members of an elite police squad entered the hotel, cut the phone line, and demanded that night staff tell them where Flores and his entourage were staying.
Staff members on duty reported an explosion that shook the building, followed by 10 to 15 minutes of intense gunfire, "a rain of bullets" in the words of the night manager.
[13] The Bolivian autopsy by Antonio Torres Bulanza and Rafael Vargas Peña, of the Instituto de Investigaciones Forenses, showed Dwyer had six bullet entrance wounds with three exit wounds and the trajectory was from the back to the front, slightly from below to above, that his heart was intact and the cause of death was hypovolaemic shock (acute blood loss) from multiple thoracic injuries by bullets.
