False News of Mexican Actor's Death Debunked

Mexican actor Édgar Vivar debunks death rumors, stating he is alive and well, responding with humor to the false news circulating online.


False News of Mexican Actor's Death Debunked

The news about the death of Mexican actor Édgar Vivar, known worldwide for his roles as Señor Barriga and Ñoño in the show 'El Chavo del Ocho,' is false, and the story has been debunked by the artist himself. Vivar is alive and had to respond to the death rumors, dismissing that he has passed away and even jokingly stating that he hopes to 'not have to receive an order from up there.' The confusion originated from a video on platforms like YouTube with a sensationalist title claiming the actor had died at the age of 76. This type of content lacks official backing and reliable journalistic verification. Furthermore, Vivar himself has had to debunk other absurd rumors for some time, including that he suffers from Alzheimer's — something he denied on social media — which shows how his name often appears in exaggerated reports.
