Atiende a Obama y muere a los 7 días (25 abril 2009).- EL NORTE / Staff MÉXICO.- El jueves 16 de abril, Felipe Solís, director del Museo Nacional de Antropología, recibió al Presidente Barack Obama para que recorriera la Sala Mexica, admirara el Calendario Azteca y cenara en el recinto. Este jueves pasado, una semana después de la visita, Solís falleció con un cuadro similar a la influenza. Al amanecer el viernes 17, el directivo reportó a sus colaboradores que comenzó a sentir una afección en la garganta, dolor en el pecho y otros síntomas similares a los de la influenza, pero pensó que era un resfriado. Sin embargo, el sábado tuvo que internarse en un hospital de la ciudad, donde el supuesto resfrío evolucionó en neumonía, que se agravó con un cuadro de diabetes. Incluso, a Solís lo declararon en coma, pero después mostró signos de recuperación. La esperanza duró poco: Los niveles de glucosa se dispararon y la neumonía no cedió, hasta que el jueves 23 falleció, clínicamente, de un paro cardiaco. Por su conocimiento de la cultura azteca y su puesto, Solís acostumbraba participar en todas las visitas diplomáticas de Jefes de Estado o representantes de monarquías europeas al museo.
