Overview

• A TikTok posted by Fidel Martin shows a gray‑haired man at a Sarcelles café in Île‑de‑France whose resemblance to Juan Gabriel drew millions of views and widespread sharing on X.
• No family, authorities, or credible sources have verified the man’s identity, and media reports reiterate that Juan Gabriel’s death in 2016 is the official record.
• Users circulated a screenshot of the singer’s CURP as supposed proof he is alive, but civil‑registry explanations note a CURP persists after death and is only annotated or inactivated.
• Santiago Alberto, a godson of the artist, and Santaella, a purported former partner, said they never saw the body, statements that fed speculation without providing corroborating evidence.
• The clip’s timing ahead of Netflix’s Debo, Quiero y Puedo release on October 30 prompted marketing theories, though there is no confirmed connection to the production.
