The director of the Asturian newspaper El Comercio, Marcelino Gutiérrez, died this Sunday of a heart attack at the age of 48, as announced by the newspaper in its digital edition. This Monday he dedicates his printed cover to her.
"On Saturday, Marcelino Gutiérrez González closed the paper edition of this newspaper, which was placed on newsstands this Sunday, without knowing that in the unpleasant dawn he would be the news," the newspaper recalls in a text in which they define the journalist as an "addict to current events, tireless and incapable of discouragement in the daily life of the Editorial Office."

He previously graduated in Journalism from the Pontifical University of Salamanca.
