This Wednesday, the lifeless body of the ventriloquist Mari Carmen Martínez-Villaseñor, better known as Mari Carmen and her dolls, has arrived in Madrid to be watched in a funeral home in the town of Majadahonda. The humorist’s only son, Miguel Manuel Almanzor, is in it and has attended the media throughout the day.
