However, the provided evidence does not explicitly confirm the detail of her own death or the specific circumstances of her son's death in state custody across multiple independent sources. Only one relevant search snippet touches on her identity.

“Navas had spent months searching prisons and government offices for answers after authorities remained silent for more than a year about his fate”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search result 'Who was Carmen Teresa Navas?' explicitly states that she 'searched for her son from pillar to post in Venezuela but could not confirm his whereabouts even as he was detained.' This corroborates the act of searching for her son, but as it is the only relevant source provided for this specific detail, it is marked as single_source.
