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.

The National Association of Performers (ANDI) confirmed his death through an official statement shared on social media.

Arau also appeared in films like Extraños caminos, Un mundo maravilloso, and Julio y su ángel, building a versatile career in entertainment.

As of now, the cause of his death has not been disclosed, though many colleagues expressed their sadness upon hearing the news.

Diana Marina López Lara, Stunt Double and Actress, Dies

A few days later, the death of Diana Marina López Lara, known in the industry as “Marina Lars,” was announced. She worked as both an actress and a stunt double for Televisa.

The National Association of Actors (ANDA) confirmed the news on Tuesday, September 30, generating widespread grief within the artistic community.

The young performer appeared in shows such as Mujeres asesinas, Como dice el dicho, Quererlo todo, and Esta historia me suena.

Family and friends paid tribute to her with heartfelt messages, praising her talent, professionalism, and warmth on set.

Gustavo Cosaín, the Third Loss in the Series of Televisa Actors Deaths

On Friday, October 3, the ANDI announced the death of Gustavo Cosaín, known for his roles in telenovelas like Simplemente María, La culpa, and Ni contigo ni sin ti.

In 2021, the actor revealed that he had been battling cancer, an illness that marked his final years.

Although details of his death have not been made public, fellow actors remembered him for his kindness and dedication to his craft.

With these three actors deaths, Televisa closes a week of mourning, reigniting the discussion around the so-called “rule of three” in Mexican show business, reported Milenio and El Heraldo de México.
