Hours later, when they tried to take him to a medical center, he died. 295 Mrs. Urbina went to the Labor Inspector and in 2004 she and Mr. Hernández signed letter of commitment in which he agreed to pay 100,000 lempiras in favor of Mrs. Urbina, and it was recorded that the payment was completed on that date. 296 However, this sum of money was insufficient to cover all the expenses and damages caused by the death of her partner.
