Miguel Ángel Díaz Rincón,Son of Vallenato Legend Diomedes Díaz,Passes Away at 32
Miguel Ángel Díaz Rincón,the son of the iconic vallenato singer Diomedes Díaz,tragically passed away on Saturday,January 18,in Bogotá. The 32-year-old had been battling chronic kidney failure and was receiving intensive care at the Méderi clinic before his untimely death.
His brother, Rafael María Díaz, confirmed the heartbreaking news through a heartfelt message on social networks. “You fought until the end and you fought the battle. God bless you. We love you,” he wrote, honoring Miguel Ángel’s resilience throughout his illness.
Miguel Ángel’s health struggles began in childhood,but his condition took a severe turn at the age of 20 when he was diagnosed with a terminal disease. This led to the loss of both his kidneys, leaving him dependent on dialysis. In a remarkable act of love, his mother, Yolanda Rincón, donated one of her kidneys, granting him an improved quality of life for 12 years. However, in late 2023, the transplanted organ failed, forcing him to return to dialysis.
His health took another devastating blow in October 2024 when thrombosis developed in his right leg, necessitating an amputation while he was in a coma. He also suffered from peritonitis, which required doctors to intubate him once again. Even though he briefly regained consciousness on January 15, his condition continued to decline.
Throughout this harrowing journey, Yolanda Rincón kept the family’s followers updated via social networks, sharing both moments of hope and the grim realities of her son’s condition. In one of her posts, she expressed gratitude for the prayers they received and recounted Miguel Ángel’s unwavering faith. “miguel asked God to wake up, and that miracle became a reality,” she wrote. Despite these moments of hope, the medical complications ultimately proved insurmountable.
Miguel Ángel’s story is one of courage, love, and the relentless fight against adversity. His passing leaves a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and the countless individuals who followed his journey.
