A rescue after about 36 hours
Daniela Largo had been found alive in rubble in Pereira after an operation lasting about 36 hours. Her rescue had been confirmed by the president and received wide news coverage.
Two publications report her death
Infobae reported the death at 9:27 a.m. on August 15, and EL PAÍS confirmed it in an article published at 11:33 a.m. With no public medical or family time, the timeline uses the first original publication as its reference, not as the time of death.
The published medical details
The sources say she suffered cardiopulmonary arrest during transport, was admitted to intensive care and later died after severe health complications. EL PAÍS also mentions a history of cancer. These details do not establish a precise medical cause here.
Information that changes the known outcome
