This August 11, Miguel Uribe Turbay died after two months of fighting following the attack he suffered on June 7, 2025, as confirmed by his wife María Claudia Tarazona.

Uribe Turbay, 39, a senator from the right-wing Democratic Center party, had been hospitalized since the day of the attack at the Santa Fe Foundation clinic in Bogotá, where he underwent several surgeries and, although he showed some improvement, he never overcame his critical condition.
