"Con Permiso revives the controversy surrounding Iván Cochegrus and his nickname 'Angel of Death.'"

In an unexpected turn of events, the program "Con Permiso" has revived a disturbing narrative surrounding the figure of theater producer Iván Cochegrus, who has been humorously dubbed "the angel of death." Hosts Martha Figueroa and Juan José "Pepillo" Origel have echoed a series of celebrity deaths that, curiously, coincided with Cochegrus's presence in their final moments. This connection has generated a stir in the entertainment world, where rumors and superstitions always find fertile ground. The discussion began with lamentations over the death of Dulce "the singer," who passed away on December 25, 2024. It was in this context that Figueroa and Origel started recalling other personalities who also died shortly after spending time with Cochegrus. In a tone that combined seriousness and humor, Figueroa revealed that the producer had brought meals to icons like Silvia Pinal and, of course, Dulce in her final days. This revelation sparked nervous laughter in the studio, but also a sense of unease among viewers. Both hosts criticized the tendency of some "spokespeople" who, after the death of a celebrity, seem to overshadow the true mourners. The situation became even more peculiar when Cochegrus was mentioned as a recurring character in these tragedies, awakening a kind of superstition in the two. "When you see him, run for your lives," Figueroa warned in a clearly joking tone, although the seriousness of the topic was palpable. The story of Iván Cochegrus's supposed curse is enriched when Carmen Salinas, another iconic figure of Mexican entertainment, is mentioned as also being linked to the producer's presence in her final days. Figueroa and Origel did not hesitate to warn that if they ever encountered Cochegrus offering food, the best course of action would be to quickly distance themselves. This jest, while anecdotal, reflects a popular culture that has skillfully intertwined tragedy with humor, albeit in a way that could be disturbing to many. On the other hand, the context of these comments not only lies in the deaths of the mentioned figures but also in the legacy they have left in the entertainment industry. The deaths of figures like Dulce and Carmen Salinas have left a void in the Mexican showbiz, and the way their lives and works are discussed is often overshadowed by morbid curiosity and speculation. Figueroa and Origel's concern about certain individuals taking center stage during these times reflects an industry that, at times, seems more focused on spectacle than on sincere homage. The nickname "angel of death" is not only shaping the narrative surrounding Cochegrus but also invites reflection on how society approaches the deaths of celebrities. Morbid curiosity and superstition often coexist in the collective imagination, and in this case, the figure of the producer becomes a scapegoat that, albeit humorously, awakens latent fears. As a result of this conversation, Iván Cochegrus's figure has gained notoriety not only in the entertainment realm but has also become an object of analysis and speculation. This raises questions about the ethics and responsibility of those working in the media, especially when it comes to the most vulnerable moments of people. Ultimately, this episode of "Con Permiso" underscores the need for a more humane and respectful approach toward the death and legacy of public figures. The entertainment industry not only feeds off the lives of these artists but must also pay tribute to their memory in a dignified manner. In a world where death can be a spectacle, it is essential to remember that behind every famous figure lies a story, a life that deserves to be remembered with respect and affection.
