Mr.Noel Emiro Omeara Carbajal’s Death 64. Mr. Noel Emiro Omeara Carrascal died on July 26, 1994, six months after being shot.95 Although he underwent several operations, he did not show signs of improvement and was left with a physical disability that prevented him from walking. In this regard, his daughter Araminta Omeara Miraval testified before the judicial authorities: they stated that he would be left an invalid, and that for him it was terrible, there [at the hospital] he remained for a month, we brought him here and then he became ill and was brought back to Bucaramanga, when we brought him back again he became ill because he could not accept being an invalid, he did not want to return to the farm, once we took him to the farm and we went back quickly, and then he died in July 1994. Lately he did not even visit the doctor, because for such an active person like him, being an invalid was terrible. We do not know what he died of, but the doctor of Bucaramanga, the psychologist, told us that he did not last more than six months because it was very bad for him; while at the clinic he was delirious, speaking as if on the farm giving orders; it is not known how he died, but everyone says that it was due to the immense grief; he changed since the accident, he was very happy but after that accident he changed, that was very hard for all who knew him.96 65.
