According to police reports, on April 11, 2002, he was kidnapped by the National Liberation Army (ELN). For several months there was no news about his condition, but it was learned that he eventually died in an unknown location, probably due to complications of an unattended kidney failure. His body was finally turned over to the Red Cross.[1]
The national government declared two days of grief. An avenue and a cenotaph were built in the city of Armenia in his honor.
