Despite Participating In Many Battles He Died Of Natural Causes

Most of the time, we would have anticipated that Bolivar would perish in one of the numerous conflicts in which he took part, but he passed away from natural causes. He also managed to escape from multiple attempts at assassination and avoid suffering any injuries that could have been fatal. Nevertheless, after numerous attempts to elude death, he passed away from TB on December 17, 1830, at the young age of 47, at the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino in Santa Marta, Gran Colombia (now Colombia).

Bolivar's bones were interred at the Santa Marta Cathedral. They were transferred from Santa Marta to Caracas twelve years later, in 1842, at the request of President José Antonio Páez, and interred alongside his wife and parents in the Caracas Cathedral. He was transferred to a monument erected for his burial in the Venezuelan National Pantheon in 1876. Numerous references to his life can be found in the Quinta near Santa Marta, which has been preserved as a museum. Manuela Sáenz's symbolic bones were also buried at Venezuela's National Pantheon in 2010.
