Atilio Veronelli, a renowned Argentine actor, passed away at the age of 65, leaving a profound void in the world of entertainment. Veronelli's life was marked by significant health challenges, including two previous heart attacks and a bypass surgery in which he had five grafts placed.
However, one of the most difficult moments for the actor was his hospitalization at the Eva Perón Hospital in Merlo in 2022 due to heart problems. In an interview, Veronelli shared details of this difficult period, recalling the anguish he felt when confronting his own mortality and the fear of leaving his youngest son, Octavio, who was only four years old, without a present father.
The birth of Octavio brought a ray of hope to Veronelli's life, seven years after the tragic loss of his son Carlos in a motorcycle accident in 2011. The actor expressed the joy he felt becoming a father again in his maturity, contrasting with the deep sadness he experienced after the death of his eldest son.
Throughout his life, Veronelli faced moments of great anguish and concern for his health, especially due to heart problems. In his own words, he described how the feeling of constant shortness of breath tormented him and led him to wake up in the middle of the night feeling suffocated.
The insistence of his ex-wife, a doctor, was crucial for Veronelli to finally seek medical help at a critical moment. Despite his struggle against adversity, the news of his death shocked his colleagues and followers, who fondly remember his legacy in the Argentine entertainment industry. The departure of Atilio Veronelli leaves an irreplaceable void in the artistic scene of the country, but his memory will endure through his valuable contribution to the world of entertainment.
