Musicians performed for a sick 20-year-old woman before her wish to be euthanized.

Erika Morales has been left paralysed at the age of 17.

She was attacked in a bar which left her quadriplegic.

She was also surrounded by her family members.

She was hit in the head with a bottle in 2021.

The attack caused a cerebral infection and a severe spinal cord injury, and Erika lost all of her mobility.

Erika expressed her desire to die by euthanasia after suffering both physically and emotionally for years following the injury.

Health provider Emssanar EPS initially rejected her request but her family fought on her behalf and it was approved on 22 February.

Erika died on Saturday (1 Mar) at the Valle de Atriz Medical Center, in the municipality of Pasto, southwest of Bogota, Colombia.

Her family have since demanded justice in relation to Erika’s attackers, as reported by Need To Know.

Local media reported that two alleged perpetrators were identified in the investigation, but no progress has been made in the judicial process.

Erika’s family continues to fight for her in the wake of her death.
