Mother of rescued Colombia children survived four days after jungle crash

Manuel Miller Ranoque, father of Indigenous children rescued in the Colombian jungle 40 days after surviving a small plane crash, speaks to reporters in Bogota.

BOGOTá - The mother of the four Indigenous children rescued after 40 days lost in the Colombian jungle remained alive for four days before succumbing to her injuries suffered in the May 1 plane crash, her widower said Sunday.

The Uitoto Indigenous children -- ages 13, nine, five and one -- were found alive Friday by rescuers, having wandered alone in the Amazon rainforest since the crash of a small Cessna 206 plane on which they were traveling with their mother, the pilot and another adult.
