Mariely Chacon was a heroic mom, who died breastfeeding her kids in the shipwreck.
Before she passed away, Mariely Chacon did everything to save her 2 kids: Jose David (6 years old) and Maria Beatriz Camblor Chacon (2 years old).
The investigator later found that Mariely Chacon died while drinking her own urine to keep on breastfeeding her children. She eventually died from organ failure caused by dehydration, 3-4 hours before the rescue.
On the other hand, 25-year-old nanny, Verónica Martinez, kept herself alive in an icebox. Martinez, along with Jose and Maria was taken to hospital.
The doctors have pointed out that the children will survive despite the PTSD and burns. Likewise, they are being treated at the clinic in the capital Caracas.
