Carlos Andrés Tique Mape was the person who lost his life on the bridge of the Ibagué variant.

The news surprised the relatives, who went to Legal Medicine after finding out on the news that the deceased had a cross drawing on his head. Apparently, in the last months of his life, the boy had taken refuge in drugs.

Days before the tragedy, Carlos, known as ‘Timo’, had gone to a friend to get motilized. Presumably, no one noticed anything strange in his behavior. This medium spoke with a person who knew Carlos Andrés, who remembers him as a young nobleman and a good friend.

“Curiously one was bored and he gave him good advice. However, in recent months he was very lonely and taking refuge in drugs. It is a pity what happened because many people wanted it, ”he said.

The source reiterated that Carlos Andrés was from Ibaguereño and not from Paisa, as stated by a person who claimed to have spoken with him before the tragedy.

The boy lived in the Territorio de Paz settlement, near the Modelia neighborhood. For a while he worked in construction and was a fan of Deportes Tolima.

It is worth remembering that, according to a water vendor who is located near the variant bridge, the previous Thursday, the young man crossed the structure and in seconds climbed the fence. He did not give time for psychological first aid to be given. According to his testimony, he made a farewell sign with his hand and left forever.

“Keep the faith because life can change overnight,” was one of the phrases he shared on his social networks on the day of his death.
