Last week a great controversy arose after it was published that the ashes of the great Carmen Sevilla They had not been collected from the Pozuelo de Alarcón funeral home 105 days after his death. All eyes were directed towards Augusto Algueró Jr.his only son, who received numerous criticisms.
However, shortly after, Augusto himself took it upon himself to deny the news through a great friend of his mother, the psychic Rappel. Augusto assured her that her mother’s ashes had been collected and that they would be distributed among the three places that Carmen left indicated in the city of Seville.
Days later, his intentions are also known, since the son of the figure of Spanish song and culture reserves the right to take whatever legal action is necessary due to the information published, as they slip to The Spanish. “It has hurt him a lot because there is supposed to be a data protection law that must be respected. How would you feel if they revealed something like that about your mother?” say sources close to him.
Carmen Sevilla’s ashes, however, were collected “a few months” after her death, although no one is the one to criticize this type of decision that is so difficult for a family member. In this sense, they explain: “Sometimes pain prevents you from making decisions. We do not know how Augusto is handling his grief and sadness. Each person manages it as best they can. Has anyone stopped to think that he did not collect the ashes before because could not?”.
The actress’s son also did not attend this Monday, October 16, the funeral mass that friends and family of the missing artist prepared for her in Madrid.
The light of Carmen Sevilla, consumed by Alzheimer’s, went out forever on June 27 at the age of 92. The son of the former presenter of Neighborhood Cinema He also received criticism for not opening a funeral chapel for his mother, as did other great figures of Spanish culture such as Rocío Jurado, Lola Flores o Sara Montiel. Maria Teresa Campos y Maria Jimenez They have also been farewelled this summer with emotional and well-deserved recognition.
The artist left as discreetly as she has lived in recent years. In 2009 she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, in 2010 she retired from public life and in 2015 she entered a nursing home, where she has remained until the end of her days. She died at the Fundación Jiménez Díaz University Hospital, where she was transferred just two days before her death.
