Spanish society was shocked on July 21 when it discovered that Marta Chávarri, an icon of the tabloids and gossip in the 1980s and 1990s, had been found dead at her home in the Madrid capital.
Álvaro Falcó's mother was found by her assistant and, although she quickly called 911, the health professionals could not do anything to help her. Chávarri's death caused a stir among many of the people who had followed her for years and who remembered her fondly, as well as surprised and caught her family members by surprise, who claimed to be "broken" and unable to believe what had happened.
''We are devastated. She has taken us by surprise. She was in a magnificent moment, she was very excited about her granddaughter, she was physically fine, mentally phenomenal,'' Tamara Falcó's cousin expressed to the press visibly moved as he explained that his mother did not present serious pathologies and that everyone expected her to live for many years further.
Isabel Chávarri, sister of the deceased, confessed to the media that they were all "broken" by the news and that her sister was going through a period of peace and tranquility: "She was happy with her granddaughter. She was the best in the world. The best person, the best mother, the best sister, the best. The best".
According to the journalist Paloma Barrientos in El Programa de Ana Rosa, a Telecinco television program in which she collaborates, Alberto Cortina's ex-wife died of a stroke, the same cause that led Álvaro Falcó's grandmother to the grave when Chávarri I was only 19 years old.
The communicator also told the Mediaset España magazine that during the days prior to her death, Marta Chávarri had had severe headaches, but that at no time did she think that the situation was going to lead to a more serious problem that was going to cost her life.
According to what Mónika Vergara told last Sunday in the program in which she works at Telecinco, Isabelle Junot, wife of Álvaro Falcó, appeared especially affected at the wake of the icon of the gossip. According to the communicator, the woman was heartbroken because Chávarri had called her a couple of times to tell her that she was not well.
"He explained to her that he was feeling bad. Marta tried to downplay it: 'Don't worry'. On the second call he tells her that he is feeling worse and then calls the ambulance," explained the communicator while reflecting on what would have happened if they had come to the doctor the first time Chávarri complained.
