Mawy was mowing on a farm in the Yopal sector when he suddenly saw something strange moving through the grass; he was very scared. As he stepped back, he tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. When he fell, the mower turned off, and the blade broke; one piece flew off, and the other piece fell on his hand, seriously injuring him. Mawy was bleeding a lot. The boss noticed and, upon seeing him like that, he called an ambulance, but it never arrived. They waited and waited for many hours until a neighbor passing by in his car decided to take him to the hospital, but on the way, Mawy died.
