Manuel Uribe was rushed to the hospital on May 2 over the abnormal heartbeat. Doctors had struggled for his life for more than 3 weeks, however their attempts were unsuccessful.
Suffering from serious health conditions and being bedridden for 9 years, Uribe had managed to lose weight up to 360 kg in 2008. That year Meme, as he was tenderly called by his friends and relatives, married his girlfriend of 4 years Claudia Solis.
Hospital staff confirmed the fact of death without specifying the cause.
Condolences to Manuel’s family.
May his gentle soul rest in peace
