The former vice president of Ecuador Jorge Glas, who was arrested in a violent police raid at the Mexican Embassy in Quito to be transferred to a maximum security prison, would have attempted
suicide with an overdose of medication
and would have been transferred to a hospital in the coastal city of Guayaquil.
According to the radio station Radio Pichincha, which cites sources close to the Citizen Revolution movement, to which Glas belongs, the politician would have been transferred to the Military Hospital in Guayaquil due to the consumption of an overdose of medication in a suicide attempt.
The digital media Primicias also reported that Glas would have been
declared in a medical coma,
according to a police report on the causes of the breakdown due to the "ingestion of anxiolytic, antidepressant and sedative medications."
Likewise, it has been noted that the former vice president and ally of former president
Rafael Correa
(2007-2017) would have been
stabilized in the medical unit to which he was transferred.
At the moment,
no Ecuadorian authority has confirmed or denied the information,
despite multiple requests from the press for an official version of the alleged suicide attempt.
