Grief overwhelms Mexican television

The entertainment world in Mexico is in mourning. In just a few days, three actors associated with Televisa passed away, reviving the well-known “rule of three” that many fans connect to tragic coincidences in the entertainment industry.

The popular belief holds that when one public figure dies, two more follow soon after—a pattern that repeated itself in late September and early October.

Among those whose deaths caused sadness are Carlos Arau, Diana Marina López Lara, and Gustavo Cosaín, three performers who left their mark on Mexican television productions.

Social media filled with messages of condolence and farewell as fans and colleagues remembered their careers and contributions to the small screen.
