Magdalena, the wife of Spanish entertainer Juan 'El Golosina', died on Sunday, July 19, at their home in Madrid at the age of 94, after suffering from stomach issues that had led to a brief hospital stay. The couple had been married since 1974 Source: infobae. Juan found her unresponsive and called emergency services, but attempts to revive her failed. Source: elespanol reports that 'Intentaron reanimarla, pero no fue posible. No lo ha superado' (they tried to revive her, but it wasn't possible. She didn't survive).
Juan, known for his close friendship with icons like Lola Flores and Rocío Jurado, was too distraught to speak to the media. His friend Marian Conde acted as spokesperson, telling reporters, 'Está muy mal, no puede ni hablar' (He's very bad, he can't even speak) Source: infobae. She also revealed that Juan repeatedly asked, 'Qué va a ser ahora de él' (What will become of him now) Source: elmundoes. Lolita Flores attended the wake at Tanatorio de San Isidro to support him Source: infobae. At the cremation on Monday, Juan broke down in tears Source: infobae. The loss of Magdalena, described as his silent support for over 50 years, has left the 80-year-old artist completely shattered.
“La verdad es que estamos pasando un día muy malo. Ha sido muy de repente, aunque había estado en el hospital... Intentaron reanimarla, pero no ha sido posible. No lo ha superado.”
“Llegó el médico, pero ya estaba prácticamente sin pulso. Intentaron reanimarla, pero no ha sido posible. No lo ha superado.”
“Solo repite una y otra vez que qué va a ser ahora de él, que qué va a hacer sin ella, a mí se me parte el alma viéndole así.”
“Está muy mal, está mal, pobrecito. Ahora hay que estar a su lado y está... Se echó a llorar y a llorar y pobre. Antes también me ha dicho 'atiéndeles, atiéndeles, por favor', porque él no puede ni hablar.”
