Suffering from serious health conditions and being bedridden for 9 years, Uribe had managed to lose weight up to 360 kg in 2008. That year Meme, as he was tenderly called by his friends and relatives, married his girlfriend of 4 years Claudia Solis.

Hospital staff confirmed the fact of death without specifying the cause.

Condolences to Manuel's family.
