Venezuelan political activist dies in hospital after being missing for several days.......

A political activist who once supported Hugo Chavez before denouncing President Nicolás Maduro's regime died early Wednesday morning at a hospital in Venezuela after he was reported missing last week

Alí Domínguez, 27, disappeared last Thursday after attending a meeting to discuss humanitarian aid at the Caracas offices of Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional.

Alí Mauricio Gómez, 31, told DailyMail.com on Wednesday that his friend was last heard from after he sent a voice note via WhatsApp at 6pm local time and was last seen active on the social media platform at 6.50pm.

Domínguez, who was a member of the communications department at the Bolivarian University of Venezuela, was found lying unconscious on a highway by firemen and was taken to Domingo Luciani Hospital on Friday.

Domínguez had been beaten and suffered a traumatic brain injury and had his teeth knocked out, among other injuries.

Bolivarian National Police reportedly refused to register missing persons report on his family’s behalf and instructed them to reach out to intelligence officials since they deemed it to be a politically sensitive case.

Domínguez was brutally beaten a year ago after denouncing corrupt officials at the university and received death threats soon after.
