His daughter, Ana Victoria, expressed Verdaguer’s death “to all his public and friends” in a press release:
“Today he left his beautiful body to continue his path and creativity in another form of eternal life,” he wrote. “My mother, I and the whole family are immersed in this pain so we appreciate your understanding in these difficult times,” she added.
Hours before his death, Verdaguer had posted a quote from his hit ‘La Ladrona’ on his personal Twitter account, dedicating it to his wife Amanda Miguel: “I’ll never get tired of dedicating it to you! You are and will be the thief who stole my heart.
Confirmed his death, Amanda responded with a brief and heartfelt “I will always love you.”
