Impact generated this Tuesday the departure of Jorge “Chino” Navarrete, who passed away at the age of 72 after a long battle with cancer.
And during the last hours, some details related to the last days of the renowned national humorist came to light.
For example, it was learned that 15 days ago he suffered a heavy fall that caused a hip fracture, for which he had to be hospitalized. This was reported by Paulo Iglesias, one of his closest friends.
“He was waiting for the operation, in very good spirits. At first he was very down and the days had to pass, he was recovering very well, we spoke daily on the phone, both with me and with the team we work with, ”said the humorist in a chat with ADN.
“He was very happy, he told me ‘mijito, it seems that white smoke came out, because they are going to operate on me’ and everyone was happy, happy, in good spirits,” he added.
And said intervention was finally carried out during the night of this Monday. However, on Tuesday he presented a multisystemic failure from which he could not survive due to the delicate state in which he was due to prostate cancer that he had suffered for a few years.
“I still had a lot to deliver”
“It is a bucket of cold water, it is very tremendous. A person who wanted to continue his life project, his joy always, unfortunately he was suffering from cancer many years ago and that makes the person much weaker, “added Paulo Iglesias.
“He still had a lot to deliver, unfortunately he had his general problem, which is not the best conditions for a person to enter a pavilion, with cancer about to spread. The fall also triggered all this”, closed the humorist.
