Bacca should speak to the hotel concierge, extend his stay a bit, and get as much done on his bucket list as he can before returning home.

This kind of black humor has some background, in fact. Andres Escobar, a Colombian football player, was gunned downed ten days after scoring an own goal against the US, which knocked Colombia out of the 1994 World Cup.
