Overview

• In an August 2025 interview on El Trece’s Otro día perdido with Mario Pergolini, Jiménez publicly revealed he spent five months in a coma after a bottle strike at a Belgrano match.
• The singer said the impact cracked his skull despite leaving no external bleeding, prompted severe headaches, and led to unconsciousness several hours later.
• Jiménez attributed his survival to emergency neurosurgery ordered by neurologist Juan Carlos Carranza to avert catastrophic brain damage.
• He described waking with severe disorientation and a severed “nervio de coordinación,” likening his state to being “dead in life.”
• He then spent about a year in intensive rehabilitation to relearn basic functions such as walking, balance and self-care before returning to the stage.
