Well if they are depriving him of nutrition/sleep and forcing him into hard labor and putting him in the cold that'll do it. He was also a smoker and in his 50s... So wouldn't take much

It’s an unfortunate story, I’m somewhat baffled Lira figured it was ok to go to a war zone to report the atrocities/corruption of the host country and figured he’d be fine
IIRC, he was already living there when the conflict started. I did follow him closely, but I had an idea his wife was Ukrainian.
Gonzalo Lira's dad confirmed his son died in Ukrainian prison Jan 12, 2024.
Said he was being attacked in prison, Zelensky probably had him especially left vulnerable.
Interesting Elon Musk publicly asked about his status on X just last month.

I also think he had some kind of a death wish. In one of his pre-ukr videos he stated he's not gonna live past few years.
Didnt he had kids?
Yes... As stated the criticism is that it was selfish not to escape with his family before hand...and conduct war tourism.
I don't know if we really can comment on why he stayed or not... But ultimately it doesn't matter.
Looks like he is really dead.
No word about releasing the body, though, are they going to bury him in Ukraine..
Doubt pneumonia version but no independent examinaion in the US.
I have no explanation on why he wanted to stay in Ukraine where dissenters are killed daily, it's a real hellhole. Did he really believe that being an American could protect him?
And why did he broadcast escape attempt?
You pay something like 10 or 20 gran and people take you over the border (might be much more expensive by now, though)
Going to the Russian side would have been safer.
Lots of unaswered questions.

May be he was fed up with the way the world is. Better to die with arms in your hands, then, though, in the battlefield, than let let the pigs torture and destroy you slowly. I guess he realized Russia was far from his ideals as well, though. Russia is fine for a Native, being motherland and all, but for a foreigner...it's a head scratcher when I see people blindly idolizing stuff online. Still, he had Chile, his motherland, why not go there? May be he struggled with his death wish and was convincing himself being an American would protect him but knew deep down it wouln't. In Ukraine, one gets daily reminders of the closeness of death, it can get to one's head. If he really is dead, his death had accomplished an important thing, shown to some who are still asleep how that zio regime treats Americans, the hand that feeds them.

I think an element of him liked being in the middle of it mall and the attention and ability to share with others.
Totally understand and I'm not condemning that...but its sad given he had a wife and was a father and now they are widowed/with out because of him staying.
He had a "friend" trying to get him over the border but eventually put him in Ukies hands. Then he paid someone 20k to also get him over the border who stood him up.
He did try but the scum around him failed him and then tortured him to death.
Only thing I can correct him on is not using his more than capable BMW motorcycle to jump the border.

Agreed, he once let out that he couldn't even read Cyrillic due to sheer laziness, given the time he spent in Ukraine as well as his high IQ. Learning basic Russian would have taken him maybe a year, at least up to a level where he would have been able to seek out local contacts. Not a fool-proof plan of course as he still could have been ripped off, but knowing Russian in that area would have gone a long way toward improving his situation.
