Colombian singer Yeison Jimenez, 34, was on his way to a concert when he tragically passed away in a plane crash. He was headed towards the city of Medellín when the crash occurred. But what is truly harrowing is that the singer seemed to have predicted his death weeks before the incident.
In an appearance on the Caracol Television programme Se Dice De Mi, he revealed that he was having constant dreams of a plane crash, which even led to his dying in the dream (via Daily Star).
I dreamt three times that we were going to have an accident on the plane and that I had to tell the pilot to go, turn around, and when he arrived he said to me: ‘Oh, boss, thank goodness you told me because something went wrong, but I’ve fixed it just as you wanted. In one of the dreams, we were all killed and it was all over the news. It was the third time I had dreamt about that. God gave me three signs and I didn’t understand them, I didn’t get them.
He also revealed that in May last year, they almost met a similar accident when there was something wrong with the plane, and water was coming out of the engines. However, they had managed to land, and later, he underwent therapy to overcome his tragic plane crash dreams.
When Did the Fatal Plane Crash Occur and How?
The tragic plane crash occurred around 3:00 PM local time on Saturday, just moments after take-off. There were 6 people on board, two pilots and four passengers, including Yeison Jimenez, 34, and all died in the crash (via The Sun).
His photographer, Weisman Mora, was also part of the crash. Following the crash, the Colombian Civil Aviation Authority issued a statement confirming that all six occupants had died.
The plane, registered as N325FA, belonged to Yeison’s firm and was bought by him in August 2022. It reportedly crashed into the Paipa and Duitama area in the department of Boyacá (via ABC 7). As of now, no details or reason for the crash have been provided, and authorities are currently investigating.
