Rodolfo Hernández's Battle Against Cancer Ends in Tragedy
Rodolfo Hernández passed away on September 2 at the International Hospital of Colombia in Piedecuesta (Santander). The former presidential candidate had spent almost two months in an Intensive Care Unit fighting for his life following crucial liver surgery. This operation aimed to extract significant portions of his liver to eliminate cancerous cells, as treatments alone were insufficient to combat the illness.
Sources revealed that during his ICU stay, Rodolfo Hernández faced hepatic failure and other organ complications due to his delicate condition. Although the hospital had issued two communications indicating he was in an acceptable general state, an official announcement at approximately 1:30 p.m. on September 2 confirmed the sad news of his passing.
