The death of Helena Rojo has shocked the Mexican soap opera world after his death was confirmed last Saturday, February 3 in Mexico.
Although the family of the 79-year-old actress has not made it official, it emerged in Mexican media that she had been diagnosed with “Liver Cancer”as reported by the news service N+, which you can see here on ViX.
Rosy Ocampo, its producer Defeat Guilt, currently airing on Univision from Monday to Friday at 7P/6C and that it was the last soap opera Helena Rojo did in her life, she also assured that The famous actress had “very advanced” cancerwhich he decided to transfer without making it publicly known.
“Enough halfway through the soap opera she learned of the diagnosis that I had cancer, which was already very advanced cancer,” he explained in an interview with FOROtv this Sunday morning, February 4.
However, in the last message the actress left on Instagram before she died, it appeared to give possible clues about the disease.
This was Helena Rojo’s last message
Helena Rojo had an official Instagram account, but she was not very active on it. The last post he made before he died was dated December 15, 2022 and he captioned it “be happy”, one of the phrases he used the most. The message was also uploaded because of Christmas that year.
“The point is to have a good time and make other people have a good night, even if it’s just once a year,” he said in the video.
It has caught the attention of some fans that Helena Rojo appeared in that conversation a kind of turban on the headwhich has raised suspicions that he has since allegedly suffered effects on his hair due to apparent cancer treatment.
In the video, he is seen reading letters and messages from some fans. Several of them send him congratulations and kind words.
In fact, he apologized to his followers because he had not had time to publish the messages: “There are times when our lives get a little complicated”she said without going into more detail about what was happening to her at the time.
“My absolute love to all of you who are always with me, thank you very much and let’s have understanding. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there sooner,” he said.
Because the actress carried her illness silently, it’s unclear if she was already suffering at the time she posted this video.
