That's Colombian senator José Fernando Castro Caycedo, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage. That death stirred quite a controversy because due to the tight security of Colombian capitol, and the absolutely infernal downtown traffic in Bogotá, it took like 30 minutes for an ambulance to get there.

On a side note, this guy's brother, Germán Castro Caycedo is an award winning writer who did an extensive research on Pablo Escobar, Castro is considered the only reporter/writer who interviewed personally the infamous druglord while he was on top of the Medellín cocaine cartel and considered "the most dangerous man in the world" (Osama Bin Laden would took from him that "honor" several years later)
