Overview
- The comic Pablo Villanueva, known as Melcochita, was taken to Hospital del Seguro in Angamos following a descompensation and, after observation, was released to rest at home.
- Media reports and his former partner Monserrat Seminario say doctors performed an electrocardiogram that came back altered and warned he needs rest due to his chronic conditions.
- Monserrat publicly blamed the episode on Melcochita drinking whisky mixed with energy drinks at a party and on long work hours, citing his age, diabetes and high blood pressure as risk factors.
- Heydi Amado, the comedian’s current partner, told TV programs the medical checks showed no serious complications, that he is stable and being monitored, and she refused to accept responsibility for funeral costs.
- The episode has intensified a public dispute over who is responsible for his care and finances and raises follow-up issues to watch for such as medical updates, any changes to his work schedule, and family arrangements for his support.
