What was Vicente Fernández cause of death?
On 6 August 2021, Vicente Fernández fell at his ranch and was hospitalized because of how serious his injuries were. He had injured his cervical spine and was placed on a ventilator in the intensive care unit.
Two weeks later he was diagnosed with Guillain–Barré syndrome and began treatment on 13 August. His son Vicente confirmed to the press that it was a disease that had nothing to do with the fall he suffered.
On 26 October 2021, he left intensive care following an improvement in his clinical condition. On 30 November 2021, he was again admitted to intensive care following a complication of his health caused by pneumonia.
On 11 December, his son again reported in an interview that his father was sedated due to a worsening of his condition. Fernández died of complications from his injuries on 12 December 2021, at the age of 81.
Fernández’s body was transferred from the funeral home to the Arena VFG, which the artist had donated to his city of Guadalajara, where his family and at least six thousand fans were already waiting for him.
The coffin with his remains was placed in the middle of the stage that was turned into an altar with a large crucifix presiding over the scene and on one side an image of the Our Lady of Guadalupe accompanied the coffin. On the coffin, which was surrounded by a sea of white flowers, rested his favorite sombrero.
The following day the Catholic funeral took place at the same arena. The ceremony was alternated by songs of his most famous rancheras and ended with “Volver Volver”, as he had wished, live. Afterward, his body was taken to his ranch, where he was buried in a mausoleum.
