Colombian presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe Turbay has died two months after he was shot in the head at a rally.
Uribe, a 39-year-old conservative senator, died at a hospital in the capital, Bogota, his wife Maria Claudia Tarazona said on Monday.
'Rest in peace, love of my life. I will take care of our children,' his wife, María Claudia Tarazona, wrote in a social media post confirming his death. 'I ask God to show me the way to learn to live without you.'
Uribe was shot three times, twice in the head, while giving a campaign speech in a park and had remained in an intensive care unit in serious condition with episodes of slight improvement.
A 15-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene of the June 7 attack in a working-class Bogota neighborhood and authorities have since detained several other people.
