Actor Luis Brandoni, who most recently starred in the Disney+ series Nada (Nothing) opposite Robert De Niro, died on April 20 2026, just two days after his 86th birthday, having never left the hospital following a fall at his home. The incident forced the star to cancel his run in the play Quién es quién, and at the time, his family said: "Mr Luis Brandoni suffered a domestic accident last Saturday that caused him to fall, hitting his head and resulting in a subdural hematoma".
The news of his death was confirmed by his friend Carlos Rottemberg, who admitted the family had resigned themselves to this outcome following his accident. "All hopes were pinned on an improvement that, a week ago, was expected to occur due to the hematoma being reabsorbed," he told news outlet TN. " Until Wednesday, he responded to some stimuli, but then he stopped responding. I can say here, along with the family, that this was unfortunately foreseeable 48 hours ago. In fact, there was a vigil here starting yesterday, waiting to see when this would happen, and it ended up happening tonight," he said.
