According to the talk show “Despierta América,” Guardia had been performing in a play, the Times reported. “When she returned home she realized that her son was dead, so she quickly notified the emergency units.”

“I’m sorry to have to report the departure of my beloved son Julián Figueroa, who unfortunately has left us,” Guardia wrote on Instagram. “They found him unconscious in his room while I was [working] in the theater. They called 911 and when the ambulance and police got here they found him lifeless, with no trail of violence.”
