A magisterial inquiry has been set up after the sudden death of Sandra Zamudio, known to her friends as Sami.

Speaking to Lovin Malta, a police spokesperson said that though a magisterial inquiry had been set up and police investigations were underway, they were unable to share more information.

When asked if anyone had been arrested over the death, police said it wouldn’t be “prudent” at this stage to divulge further information.

A fundraiser set up to repatriate her body back to Colombia tripled in donations since news of her death broke yesterday; at the time of publishing yesterday, the fundraiser had collected around $4,000. Today, it is around $13,000, with a goal of $15,000.

“On Saturday, 2nd July, our beautiful Sami decided to go for a night out with her beloved husband to a local bar in Malta, where they have been living for the last year. Unfortunately, she became a target and the victim of drink spiking at the hands of some evil strangers.” (This claim has been denied by well-informed sources, read below for more)

“Sami was rushed to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with brain death with her life depending on an artificial life support machine.”

“We are devastated; there are no words; life will never be the same again without her. Sami was passionate about life; she was a loving daughter, sister, wife, aunt, friend and full of life. Sami and her husband moved from their home country, Colombia, far away from their loved ones, looking for a better future.”

“Unfortunately, her family had to make the heartbreaking decision to unplug her from the life support machine and donate her organs just as how Sami would have wanted to, saving other people’s life.”

“Friends and family, I need your help to repatriate my daughter’s body to Colombia, this is very painful for me. I really appreciate your cooperation. God bless you always, I’m sharing the fundraiser link, please share,” Sami’s mother shared on social media.

Though the GoFundMe page attributes the incident to a drink spiking event, Lovin Malta is informed that the incident may have involved another substance, though investigations will be able to confirm that at a later date.
