The entertainment world is in mourning following the tragic death of Colombian singer Mayerly Díaz, who passed away at the age of 32 after suffering a heart attack linked to a cosmetic surgery procedure.
A Tragic Medical Emergency
Mayerly Díaz, a mother-of-two, experienced a sudden medical emergency after undergoing the cosmetic procedure at a clinic in Bogotá, Colombia, in the early hours of Saturday, 22 November. She was subsequently rushed to a hospital in Facatativá for treatment, where she tragically died due to complications.
Reports from local media, including El Tiempo, confirm that the primary cause of death was a cardiac arrest, which authorities believe may have been triggered by severe complications arising from the recent surgery. The specific nature of the cosmetic procedure has not been publicly disclosed, and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death is now underway.

Hailing from La Sierra in the Quipile municipality, Díaz was affectionately known locally as "The Voice of Quipile". Her musical career began when she was just 14 years old, and she built a repertoire that blended pop with local folk genres.

Another of her popular performances, a rendition of "No supiste perder" (You Didn't Know How to Lose), has amassed over 58,000 views on YouTube.
