    Which Colombian writer committed suicide at the age of 25 by taking 60 pills? His work is considered some of the most original of the Colombian literature.

    Question #107433. Asked by snuiteke. (Jul 26 09 11:52 PM)

    		Andres Caicedo
    It was in his novel "¡Qué viva la música" that Caicedo mentioned that to live more than 25 years of age was madness[9] and he was loyal to what he said then on March 4, 1977. In the afternoon he died, he received a volume of his recently published book "Qué viva la música!" and wrote a letter to his friend Miguel Marías where he mentioned that his woman just left him for a reason he did not know. Then he took 60 pills of secobarbital.
