Overview
- Pablo Víctor Balario, 49, collapsed during the inaugural live transmission of Comadreja TV and was later confirmed dead at the Hospital Menor Dr. Emilio Aldaya after emergency transfer.
- The collapse happened roughly an hour to an hour and a half into the program while Balario was participating in a roundtable with colleagues, forcing an immediate end to the broadcast.
- Reports from multiple regional outlets note Balario had a prior heart attack years earlier when he lived in Buenos Aires, which provides medical context for the sudden event.
- Family members, colleagues and neighbors published messages of shock and grief online, and Comadreja TV posted that the project will continue to honor his work and memory.
- Balario was a well-known figure in the Sierra de la Ventana/Villa Ventana region through radio, festivals and local entertainment, and his death leaves both a personal loss for the community and a test of the new channel’s future operations.
