A mother of four who was rescued after 40 days of wandering in the Colombian jungle survived a plane crash for four days before succumbing to her injuries, her husband said Sunday, according to AFP.

“My daughter told me her mother was alive for four days,” Manuel Miller Ranoc Morales told media outside the military hospital in Bogotá where the children are being cared for.

Four Uiototo indigenous children, Leslie (13), Soleini (9), Tien Noriel (5) and Christine (1), were found alive by rescuers on Friday afternoon after wandering alone in the jungle following the May 1 disaster of a small of the Cessna 206 plane in which they were traveling with their mother, the pilot and a relative. As a result of the accident, three adults died.

“Before her death, the mother said to them: “Come on, go away! You will learn what a father’s love is because I have shown it to you,” Ranok explained.

On the morning of May 1, a small Cessna 206 aircraft owned by Avianline Charters took off from the jungle area known as Araraquara for San Jose del Guaviare (South), one of the main towns in the area.

Minutes after the plane took off on its 350km journey over the jungle, the captain reported engine failure. After that, the plane disappeared from the radar.

The military found him between May 15 and 16 in the south of the Kaket department. The plane was standing vertically, nose down, in the middle of thick vegetation.

The pilot was found dead in the cockpit. An indigenous leader and the mother of the family were also found dead, but the military did not say where.

According to information released by the authorities, the children boarded the plane with their mother to escape threats from the FARC dissident group, which rejects a historic peace deal signed in 2016 with the Marxist guerrilla group.
