Israel's Foreign Ministry said its embassy in Colombia and Israelis-in-distress department are accompanying the family of Noam Maman and coordinating with Colombian authorities to return his body to Israel for burial after he was killed in a tandem-paragliding crash near San Félix in Bello, north of Medellín. Colombian reports said the instructor was seriously injured and taken to a Medellín hospital, while the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
