Sadly Córdoba eventually passed away from his refusal to eat as it didn’t take long for his body to succumb to malnutrition. Actually Alvarenga also contemplated suicide after his friend died, the fear of being alone, of never being found was just too devastating. However it was Alvarenga’s strong religious beliefs that stopped from committing suicide.

The Truth
After Córdoba died, Alvarenga just couldn’t bare to throw him overboard, because it would really then mean he was gone. As such Alvarenga kept his corpse on-board for six days, even talking to it. Six days later though, he knew he needed to snap out of his warped state of mind and he threw Córdoba’s corpse overboard.
