This Monday, January 8, marks two years since the death of Jaime Ostos. The bullfighter died at the age of 90 in Bogotá, Colombia, after suffering a heart attack while he slept. The right-hander traveled there with his wife, María Ángeles Grajal, to attend the bullfighting fairs in Cali and Manizales.
Since then, the children of Jaime Ostos and his widow have been immersed in a family battle for the bullfighter’s inheritance, which has unleashed an unprecedented family media war, in which different clan members have come out publicly to give their different versions of the facts.
But if all this confrontation was not enough, this past weekend the news broke that Dr. Grajal had had to go urgently to the La Zarzuela Hospital due to peripheral circulatory insufficiency in her right leg, which could have had a fatal outcome. fatal.
After all these events and just two years after the death of Jaime Ostos, one of the bullfighter’s daughters, Gabriela Ostos, went to the Antena 3 program to give more details about the Ostos war.
The bullfighter’s eldest daughter claimed as soon as she sat on the Antena 3 set that today was a very hard day for her and that she also found out about her father’s death on television. ”I was at home eating and a cousin of mine called me and she asked me if she had found out and then I knew directly that something had happened to my father,” she said.
The bullfighter’s daughter confessed that that day María Ángeles Grajal did not call any of the bullfighter’s children, not even Jacobo Ostos. ”She sent us images on WhatsApp and told us that they were going to cremate him immediately. Jaime, who lives in the United States, had decided to go because he was two and a half hours away. But when he was going to catch the plane he found out that they had already cremated him and he didn’t arrive in time,’ he said.
Regarding how their lives had changed since the death, Gabriela Ostos assured that her father was the pillar that united the entire family. ”My father was fun, loving and adored his grandchildren,” she said. ”Jaime insisted a lot that we solve things (…) I told him that he did not have the capacity to do it and we let some time pass. And after time we told María Ángeles that we had to solve things. My brother asked for the death certificate (…) and as of today we do not have it. “We got the certificate from Colombia through the consulate in Seville,” she asserted. ”She always prevented an approach, my father did not admit it,” she declared.
This strange irregularity regarding the Spanish death certificate has led them to think that there must be something behind it. ”We have asked him many times and he has never sent it to us, I don’t know the reasons, he will have to give his explanations (…) things have not been done well,” he assured. Furthermore, Jaime Ostos’ daughter claimed that the only thing her brother wanted was the walking cape with which he was baptized. ”Decisions began to be made without counting on us,” she said.
