The actress died yesterday at the age of 65. Whoever her public relations officer was, Danna Vázquez, said she left “without pain,” but didn’t say what led to her losing her life.
“Rebecca always wanted to remove the disease words from her name and I’m not the one to bring them back,” she said in an interview for Venga la alegría.
Verónica del Castillo and her controversial farewell to Rebecca Jones
Eric del Castillo’s daughter posted a message on her Instagram account not only revealing the alleged cause of Rebecca Jones’ death, but also a request she would have made to him.
“My beautiful friend, since December 2022 you have asked me for my help three times to detox from the 60 chemos you received in five years,” Verónica wrote at the beginning of her text.
“We already had your rescue plan ready, with a doctor at your home, and it could never happen because you weren’t allowed to leave the hospital,” he continued.
The presenter explained: “It pains me a great deal to wake up to this news of your departure due to ovarian cancer [en el estadio] 3B”.
“May your soul receive this physical liberation with joy and peace. I was helpless because those meetings weren’t reached to support you with the intravenous liquid oxygen you asked me to give,” he said.
She pointed out that she adores Rebecca and that she will “never” forget Reiki, a type of alternative medicine she practiced on her “years ago.” “Where I had the privilege of penetrating his noble soul,” he commented.
“May our dear Edith González, who died of the same cause (different stage), and your loved ones receive you. Thank you for reminding us to live to the fullest today,” concluded Del Castillo.

In early 2018, Jones was diagnosed with stage three epithelial ovarian cancer. After months of treatments, she won in September 2018 the fight against the “monster”, as he called it.

Criticism of Verónica del Castillo for her writing for Rebecca Jones
As a result of this post, which included a photo of Rebecca Jones, users of the social network began accusing Verónica of only wanting to promote her holistic therapy business.
“Is it condolences or self-promotion? Regrettable”; “What a vulgar and lousy way to publicize your company! It’s sad news but hey you should have kept quiet,” read the comments.
“Is that much information necessary? You definitely weren’t her boyfriend. You should be ashamed of providing so much information that no one asked you to give. There are other ways to advertise your ‘self-savior’,” lamented one netizen.
Singer Cristina Eustace also spoke out against Del Castillo’s actions. “I thought it was a joke and no. What a horrible way to advertise!” he insisted.
For her part, actress Beatriz Morayra condemned: “‘Wow’, too much information! And in terrible taste, in my humble opinion.”
