The death of the writer this Monday due to a heart attack has caught everyone by surprise. Despite his advanced age, 86 years old, there was nothing to presage that the family would have to meet in the small town of Castilfrío (Soria) to say their last goodbye. His girlfriend Emma Nogueiro57 years his junior, declared this afternoon that they are “destroyed”.

In addition, the journalist has said goodbye to Fernando Sanchez Dragó with an emotional message through social networks: “You take this photo with you. Goodbye forever, my love, my love, my teacher, my partner, my life. I send you an infinite kiss, until we meet again, love”.
The author of The Labyrinth Test and his girlfriend met in 2017, when she, who worked at the Almuzara publishing house, interviewed him. He was captivated and although he never considered going down the aisle with her (he had already done it three times before), they were inseparable. This Monday, Emma has become the sad hostess of friends and family who have traveled to Soria to say goodbye to Sánchez Dragó, who will be buried this Tuesday in the small Soria town that she had turned into her particular refuge.
