The young woman was the victim of a brutal attack while in the bathroom of a bar in Pasto. On social media, people close to Erika claim that the attackers were Glair G\u00f3mez and Leidy Le\u00f3n; however, this information has not been confirmed by authorities.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, March 1, 2025, the last wish of \u00c9rika Deyanira Morales, a 20-year-old woman who, after being attacked with a bottle in a bar when she was 17, became quadriplegic, was finally fulfilled<\/p>\n
The young woman, originally from Los Andres, Sotomayo (Nari\u00f1o), had requested euthanasia through communications assisted by her family, emphasizing the physical and emotional pain she endured daily . However, according to Morales\u2019s family, her EPS Emssanar had denied her access to the procedure.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the insistence of Tatiana Morales, her sister, and the virality of the case, the health authority approved the procedure on February 22, and her death was confirmed on Saturday afternoon . \u201cFly high, my beautiful angel, I love you always, little sister,\u201d she posted in a WhatsApp message, accompanied by a photograph of the two of them. Later, she shared another image showing Erika\u2019s hands next to hers, a gesture that symbolized the unbreakable bond between the two sisters.<\/p>\n
According to local media reports, Morales had been experiencing medical complications in recent days, although it has not yet been confirmed whether that was the exact cause of his death.<\/p>\n
Erika\u2019s case captured public attention, especially due to the messages her family shared on social media, detailing the difficult situation she had endured in recent years. The young woman, who lost her mobility and was completely dependent on others to carry out her daily activities, became a symbol of the fight for the right to die with dignity.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\nIt should be noted that after learning of the EPS\u2019s approval of the procedure,\u00a0\u00a0Tatiana Morales expressed on social media the emotional complexity she faced in supporting her sister in this decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI want to express that there are many mixed feelings, that this isn\u2019t easy, it\u2019s not easy to lose a sister, my only sister. You know, no malicious comments matter to me today. I just know that it was the greatest demonstration of love I\u2019m giving my sister. That she\u2019s going to be okay, that I managed to get her heard. I hope to continue fighting for justice for my sister. It\u2019s all a fact; it was approved. The rest is something private that we will handle as a family,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n On August 2, 2021, \u00c9rika, then 17, went out with her friends to a bar in Pasto (Nari\u00f1o). There, apparently in the middle of an argument,\u00a0\u00a0Morales was hit with a whiskey bottle while in the bathroom,\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0causing multiple strokes and a severe spinal cord injury, leaving her with quadriplegia.<\/p>\n This event radically transformed her life, affecting not only her physical health but also her emotional well-being. A year and seven months after leaving critical condition, Morales regained consciousness; however, she was unable to move or breathe on her own. \u201cThe specialist spoke with my mother and told her the prognosis wasn\u2019t encouraging,\u201d Tatiana told\u00a0\u00a0Caracol Radio.<\/em><\/p>\n Since then, her sister and mother have taken it upon themselves to provide Erika with the best living conditions, despite their financial difficulties: \u201c\u00a0We had to ask for help so she could pay the rent, bring diapers, creams to my sister, among many other things that a hospital requires<\/strong>\u00a0,\u201d she added to the media.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, images of the alleged perpetrators of the attack on the young woman in the establishment\u2019s restroom began circulating on social media. However, no official developments in the case have been reported. The women were identified as Glair G\u00f3mez and Leidy Le\u00f3n..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This was the accident that changed Erika\u2019s life.<\/h2>\n
