[6] Ron was very aggressive and volatile in her radical political approach, to the point that even Chávez called her "uncontrollable", and she labelled herself as the "ugly part" of the "revolution".

[8] In 2008, she and her companions had attacked the Archbishop's Palace in Caracas and irascibly evicted people who were there, and had adamantly demanded the support of the Catholic Church to the cause of the revolution.

[6] She then went to jail for three months following the 2009 attack and was allegedly recommended to be placed on the United States' Visas Viper for suspected terrorists due to the violent actions.

[6][9] On 5 March 2011, Andrés Izarra, then head of the Ministry of Communication and Information announced that Lina Ron died of "coronary obstructive disease of long standing".

Officials of the Bello Monte morgue in Caracas ruled that she did not die of a reported medicine overdose or intoxication since there were no leaks found on any of her organs.
