Three months ago we learned the sad news of the death of Carmen Sevilla at the age of 91 in Madrid. The loss of the actress was a great blow to her entire family and left a great void in the world of television and entertainment, where she became one of the most popular faces, conquering the hearts of all Spaniards.
But now the actress's name has returned to the media spotlight due to the great controversy surrounding her ashes. Her mortal remains were cremated in the Pozuelo de Alarcón funeral home 105 days ago. But according to what journalist Pilar Vidal revealed in ABC this Wednesday, Carmen Sevilla's ashes would still be in the Madrid funeral home, since her son, Augusto Algueró, would not have come to collect them.
The news has caused a great media stir in all the media and the first statements about it were immediate. According to the actress's niece, Elena García, to Semana magazine, Carmen Sevilla's ashes were still in the funeral home a month ago. ''I went to get a locket with my aunt's ashes because I wanted to leave them with my father's, and I asked and the ashes were still there,'' the niece from Seville revealed.
The reason for this delay was because the artist's son had planned to distribute his mother's ashes between two of his favorite cities: Seville and Marbella. ''I told him that if he couldn't pick them up I didn't mind picking them up for him. He told me no, that he wanted to take them to Seville and Marbella and that it had not yet been organized,' he claimed.
For his part, Augusto Algueró refused to make any type of statement to the media. But Rappel, one of the people closest to the artist's son, would have managed to find out his version. The Telecinco program Así es la vida broadcast a video this Wednesday in which the psychic confirmed that Algueró had denied the information that had been published. ''Who said that? Let them be informed,' he stated.
''I am going to do with my mother's ashes what I promised my mother, and that you know, the urn that they were going to give her of the ashes, to make three urns, and to place those three urns in three places that had been very special and very unique in his life,'' Rappel revealed.
Hours later, the Antena 3 program And Now Sonsoles had the opportunity to speak with the workers at the Pozuelo de Alarcón funeral home. All of them revealed to the program that they were very upset with everything that was happening and denied that any of them had leaked such information. After all the versions of what happened came to light, it is still up in the air to know the exact whereabouts of Carmen Sevilla's ashes.
