differ from those described in the application, although they may submit those that can explain, clarify or reject facts that are mentioned in it. Supervening facts are different, because they can be presented by any of the parties at any stage of the proceedings before the judgment is handed down.262 225. From the list of deaths indicated by the representatives, the Court notes that the death of Luisa Ramírez Larrosa, who died in January 2009 at 62 years of age, without a known cause of death and without information on whether she had received medical attention, as well as that of Rosa Larrosa Domínguez, who died of natural causes in October 2009 at the age of 100, and without information on whether she had received medical attention, occurred after the Commission had presented the application; consequently, the Court will examine them as they constitute supervening facts. 226. Based on the above, the Court has competence to examine 28 deaths that occurred while the Court had competence; namely, the following: No. Name and Sex f (female) m (male) 1 2 Luisa Ramírez Larrosa (f) Rosa Larrosa Domínguez (f) 3 Sara Gonzáles López (f) 4 Felipa Quintana (f) 5 6 Gilberto Dermott Quintana (m) (NN) Jonás Avalos or Jonás Rios Torres (m) Age at time of death 62 years 100 years 1 year and 5 months Probable date of death 01-2009 10-2009 25-07-2008 Probable cause of death No information Natural death Gastroenteritis – dehydration 64 years 13 – 05 2008 Septic shock 46 years 2007 Tuberculosis No information 2007 No information Stopped eating 7 Rosa Dermott (f) 80 years 02-10-2007 8 Remigia Ruiz (f) 38 years 14-05-2005 Complications giving birth Pertussis (whooping cough) Cardiac murmur Anemia, possible hypoalbuminaemia 1 year 2005 10 Yelsi Karina López Cabañas (f) Tito García (m) 46 years 2005 11 Aída Carolina González (f) 8 months 04-06-2003 12 Abundio Inter.

Case of the “Five Pensioners” v. Peru, Merits, reparations and costs. Judgment of February 28, 2003, Series C No. 98, para. 154; Case of Perozo et al. v. Venezuela. Preliminary objections, merits, reparations and costs. Judgment of January 28, 2009. Series C No. 195, para. 67, and Case of Manuel Cepeda Vargas v. Colombia, supra note 8, para. 49. 263 The Commission’s application includes “(NN) Dermott (f),” which may be the same child, given that the year of death and surname are the same. The only difference is that one appears to have died at birth, and the other at the age of one, without the cause of death being specified. 264 In the 2009 brief presented by the representatives following the issue of IACHR Report on Merits No. 30/08 of July 17, 2008, the year of death is 2003. It is possibly the same person. Moreover, in the medical report, it appears as “Corrientes” and the cause of death is fetal distress. 52
