Early life

Marulanda was born Lina María Marulanda Cuartas in Medellín, Colombia. She began her modeling career at age 12.[2] She first attended Santa María del Rosario de Medellín High School but moved to Parra Paris High School, from which she graduated, following conflicts with the directors and nuns at Santa María.[2] Her adolescence was extremely busy with fashion shows and photo shoots; in a 2004 interview, Marulanda said she regretted having grown up this way.[2]

After completing high school, Marulanda enrolled in Jorge Tadeo Lozano University in Bogota, where she studied advertising.[2]

In December 2005, Marulanda went on to lead the entertainment portion of Caracol News at 12:30, with journalist and presenter Ivan Lalinde.[citation needed]

In early 2007, she hosted the reality show Challenge 20-07 on Canal Caracol. That July, she returned to CM& News, doing special reports on Colombiamoda 2007. She also reported on Colombiamoda 2007 for the station W Radio. On 24 July 2007, Marulanda joined the team of La hora del Regreso on W Radio, replacing Marcela Sarmiento.[citation needed]

She was a spokesmodel for major brands of clothing, and appeared in magazines including SoHo, Don Juan, Cromos, and G.[citation needed]

Death

On 22 April 2010, Marulanda died upon falling from the balcony of her sixth-floor apartment.[2][3][4] It is considered a suicide.[4] Marulanda was with her parents, ex-husband, and a doctor at the time.[4] She was in the midst of a divorce with Carlos Oñate, her second husband, to whom she had been married for three months.[3]
