Colombian actor Kepa Amuchástegui, widely recognized for his role as Don Roberto Mendoza in the iconic telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea, died on Tuesday, May 28, 2025, at the age of 84. The news was confirmed by his family, who shared a heartfelt message: “This beautiful person has passed away with a slow and serene breath. We will always remember him with much love.”
At the end of April, Amuchástegui revealed in a video that he had been diagnosed with bladder cancer. He reflected on his condition by saying, “I thought, and I told everyone, that I'd rather die on a stage than in a normal bed. But after the two operations I had, I was left in a state of total weakness.” Despite undergoing several medical exams and a surgery on December 28, 2024, his health continued to decline in the following months. His death marks a significant loss for the Colombian entertainment industry, where he was celebrated not only for his performances but also for his contributions to theater and television over several decades.
