They declare brain death of boxer Luis Quiñones, who has been confined in the General Clinic of the North for several days after being operated on Sunday for a clot in the brain.
“My brother is still fighting, he is still alive, until he stops breathing we cannot say that he died. Right now he is breathing, we saw him and we saw him still strong. We have faith and we are waiting until the last moment for God’s miracle,” Leonardo told the Barranquilla media.
Until this Thursday night, the General Clinic of the North had not issued a statement about his death.

The above was corroborated in a trill by the Federation on Thursday night.
