According to preliminary reports from the Clinic in Medellín, the cause of death was cardiorespiratory arrest; However, “Forensic Medicine remains to be certified,” as Castro indicated in reference to the absence of a definitive opinion from the National Institute of Forensic Medicine. Thus, the daughter of the public official showed a strong contrast between how she lived with her in Córdoba’s last moments and the assumptions of third parties, such as Betancourt, without concrete evidence.

In the interview with Semana, Castro offered a moving account of his mother’s last moments. He reported that, while she went down to the kitchen to make him lunch, one of the family’s domestic helpers asked the young woman for some pajamas for her mother.

When he went to bring her the clothes, he said that “I found her pale, with white lips.” Her feverish narration of his attempts to help her painted a dramatic picture: “I went down to call an ambulance, but they didn’t answer me. So, I called the escorts and they got her up and we took her to the Conquistadores Clinic in Medellín.”

At the clinic, while they were trying to revive Córdoba, Castro recalled that “when we were there at the clinic and they were going to do resuscitation on her, they said that she was still there, that’s why I said that she died in my arms.”

However, despite Betancourt’s statements, although they mark a possible research route, until now they are nothing more than assumptions. But for Natalia Castro “these are questions that may not have a foundation and God forbid they don’t,” she told Semana.

Betancourt’s concern that “he does not rule out that Piedad Córdoba’s life could have been taken” will continue to hang in the air until the competent entity gives a firm and definitive verdict on the cause of death.

In this way, the results of Forensic Medicine are awaited, which would deliver a conclusive opinion, and in Castro’s words, “they are investigating, because it is their job, and they do well because it is their job.” Meanwhile, it is known that Córdoba’s body, after being in the burning chamber in Congress, in Bogotá would be transferred to Medellín for his Christian burial.
