Death

There are conflicting reports about La Chiqui's death. Some newspapers at the time list her as a POW handed over to the Colombian Army by Ecuadorian authorities in March, 1981,[2] after clashes near the town of Mocoa.[3] In which case she would have died as a prisoner of the Colombian Army. Other news sources say she was killed in combat against the Army in Colombia's pacific coast region of Chocó, in April of 1981.[4][5]
