The father of four children found in the Amazon jungle after surviving 40 days confirmed they were released from the hospital.
Manuel Ranoque, 31, confirmed to the Daily Mail that his children, Lesly Jacobombaire Mucutuy, aged 13; Soleiny Jacobombaire Mucutuy, 9; Tien Ranoque Mucutuy, 4; and Cristin Ranoque Mucutuy, 1, left the military hospital treating them on Friday. They had stayed there for six weeks to recover from bug bites, dehydration, and malnutrition."‘They are totally recovered, they are in good health," Ranoque reported."I'm very pleased.
Ranoque will not have custody of the children as they will be referred to the Institute of Family Welfare in Colombia. They were previously with their mother, Magdalena Mucutuy Valencia, until the May 1 plane crash that killed Valencia and stranded the children. Pilot Hernando Murcia Morales and Yarupari indigenous leader Herman Mendoza Hernández also died as a result of the crash.
"The one thing that has cleared up for me is that, in fact, her mother was alive for four days," Ranoque told the outlet.Upon discovering the plane wreck, rescuers initiated a search for the children and found fruit along the jungle floor that had human bites taken out of them. At another point, they found a baby bottle used by the youngest child.
