In a conversation later shared by Ivonne's relatives, Estefanía wrote: "She hasn't woken up. They found her several days ago. "She fell from a great height and I wasn't there; she was with other people at the time." She died five days after her loved ones found her in hospital - never recovering consciousness. Cairo police are quizzing Estefania, who apparently refused to tell Ivonne's family what had happened to her. They are also seeking a man called Jessi Escobar, a friend the women are said to have met locally, and the two men she introduced them to. One relative, Alexandra Marin, told Colombian media: "We had a hard time finding the hospital due to language barriers and the lack of cooperation from the people involved." Ivonne's family has launched a GoFundMe appeal to help them bring back her body and fund the legal expenses to investigate her death.

Ushuaïa Dubai Closing Party 2025: Your Need To Know
For a night packed full of performances by world-renowned DJs set against Dubai's show-stopping skyline, the Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience is the open-air nightlife venue you need to experience at least once. Now, along with Global Village, Dubai Safari Park, and other top city attractions, Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience has announced its closing for summer, and its final event is just around the corner. For an unforgettable closing party you'll still be thinking about in October, Zamna, the globally renowned electronic music brand, is taking over the venue on Friday May 9. Starting in Tulum, Mexico, the jungle festival has now travelled and taken over stages across the world, with Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience next on the list. The season finale will feature many other electronic artists including Amémé, Agents Of Time, Ben Böhmer, Joezi, and Zamna Soundsystem. We told you it would be good. Luckily, you can still score tickets for Ushuaïa Dubai's last hurrah of the season at the venue's dedicated website. The tickets are currently on sale for Dhs250, discounted from Dhs324. Getting to Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience How Dubai Harbour looked for previous shows (Credit: Supplied) Getting to the show is fairly straightforward but you should be aware that parking spaces will be limited and it's probably not worth the risk. If you do end up driving however, you'll just need to follow the signs for Dubai Harbour from Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard. Organisers recommend using public transport with the tram being your best bet for the shortest walk. Stop at Mina Seyahi Tram Station for a short-ish walk to the site. The site is near Be Beach DXB in the Dubai Marina if you fancy making the trek. It will have dedicated ridesharing drop-off and collection points so if you're using a ride-hailing app then your driver should know where to go. From Dhs250. Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience, Dubai Marina. From 6pm.
