On January 3, Spain woke up with the bitter news of the death of Francisco Rodríguez Iglesias, known artistically as Paco Arévalo, at 76 years of age. ”It was super sudden, very fast, four days it seemed like he had the flu and it was getting worse. “I think so, it was a heart attack,” explained one of his sons (the one who found his lifeless body) to the media at the doors of the wake where the body rested.
Thousands of Arévalo’s fans and followers reacted with sadness to the news of his death and posted messages on social networks and platforms such as X (previously known as Twitter), Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. In addition to anonymous people, countless celebrities dedicated publications to the deceased comedian.
One of the posts that attracted the most attention on the Internet was that of Malena Gracia, a professional colleague of the deceased and ex-girlfriend of Arévalo in his last stage. ”Honey, I’m going to miss you. You left me a big void. Today all of us who loved you mourn you. Despite our differences in this last stage, I always loved you and will love you. Rest in peace,’ Gracia wrote, visibly affected by her death.
Despite the actress’s sadness, Arévalo’s relatives kicked her out of the funeral home and made it clear before the microphones of different media that Gracia was not welcome at the artist’s farewell. Hurt and confused, Malena explained to the press that she was in shock and that she did not expect such a reaction.
Yesterday, after two weeks of reconsideration, Arévalo’s son sat on the Fiesta set and explained to Emma García his opinion about Malena Gracia: ”Malena has done a lot of damage to my father in life, this lady has already “She was warned by my aunt and my cousin that she was not welcome there. A few days before she died my father was at Socialité giving her a green card. Do you think that three days later I’m going to receive her with a streamer at the funeral home?” .
“I have argued a lot with my father about this lady because I have never believed her, I have never believed that this woman was in love with my father,” he stated bluntly on the Telecinco program.
Arévalo’s son explained in the Mediaset España space that both he and his family are having a really bad time, since they were very close to the comedian. However, his biggest concern right now is his sister Nuria.
“All I want is for God to give me health so I can take care of my sister 24 hours a day, because for her our father was everything, she has been left without a father, without a friend, without her cane,” he said, visibly moved.
