Sa edad na 81, sumakabilang buhay na si Ex-Senate President Maceda, Lunes, Hunyo 20.
Sabi ng kanyang anak nasi Edmond Maceda “At 8:58 this evening, my father passed away due to multiple organ failure. He was 81 years old and lived a life dedicated to his family and public service".
Pagkatapos ng kanyang operasyon sa pagtanggal ng 'gallbladder' nakomatos umano ito dahil sa komplikasyon.
Nong linggo lang sya nioperahan at naging matagumpay naman ito sabi ng kanyang anak. “He was conscious. He was mentally sharp. He can’t speak because there was a tube in his mouth but he’s happy he made it through the operation,”
Pero sa kasawiang palad nagkaroon ito ng 'internal bleeding' resulta ng pagtanggal ng 'gallbladder' na tumuloy sa pag apekto ng kanyang heart at kidney.
Sabi ni Edmond “I got news this morning that he became unconscious. When I arrived in the hospital, the doctors were trying to revive his heart. I guess his heart failed. It wouldn’t respond".
Jimmy Policarpio, Chief of staff ni Maceda sa loob ng 16 taon, sabi niya Maceda was “clinically dead” with a life support machine connected to him.
Matatandaan si Ernerto Maceda ay naglingkod bilang:
Senate president from 1996 to 1998
Philippine ambassador to the United States from 1998 to 2001.
