Rochi Igarzábal recounts a sign after Ernestina Pais's death

Rocío Igarzábal, actress and friend of Ernestina Pais, recounted an experience she had three days after the host’s death, which occurred on June 26 in San Isidro. In an interview with the program Perros de la calle (Urbana Play) aired on September 4, Igarzábal said that a stranger in a waiting room mentioned that her son had assisted Pais in her final moments, and that another patient began to sing a song that both friends used to listen to together.

The actress’s account

According to her testimony, on Monday, June 29, three days after Pais’s death, Igarzábal had an appointment for a spinal scan. In the waiting room there were three people: an elderly woman, a young woman with her son, and herself. The woman, seated next to her, asked if she was a friend of Ernestina and told her that her son had been the last person to assist her, seeing her in her final seconds of life. Then, when the woman was called, the young woman who was four seats away began to sing aloud “Todo está aquí,” by Julieta Venegas, the same song that Igarzábal and Pais had listened to together in the car.

The song and its meaning

Igarzábal explained that that song was one of her favorites and that it had inspired her to compose a piece for her daughter Lupe, which will be part of her next album. Hearing it in that context, she felt it was a sign that Pais was fine. “I got goosebumps. I felt that she was telling me that she was fine,” she said. Since then, Julieta Venegas holds an important place in her life.

Verifiable data in the sources

• The death of Ernestina Pais occurred on June 26, when she was run over by a Tren de la Costa unit in San Isidro (La Nación).
• Igarzábal and Pais co-starred in the play El divorcio del año, by José María Muscari, at the Nini Marshall theater in Tigre (La Nación).
• Igarzábal’s interview aired on Friday, September 4, on Perros de la calle (La Nación).
• The song mentioned is “Todo está aquí” from Julieta Venegas’s album MTV Unplugged (La Nación).
• The second source (La Derecha Diario) does not provide information on this case; it focuses on romance rumors between La Joaqui and Tiago PZK, unrelated to Igarzábal or Pais.

Differences and limits between sources

La Nación is the only source covering Igarzábal’s account, with direct quotes and context of the accident. La Derecha Diario, on the other hand, addresses a completely different topic, so there are no coincidences or contradictions between the two. No primary source is available (for example, the audio of the interview or a statement from Igarzábal) to directly contrast her words; La Nación acts as a secondary source reproducing her statements.

What to follow up on

It would be relevant to confirm whether the full interview of Igarzábal on Perros de la calle is available in audio or video, to verify the accuracy of the quotes. It could also be checked whether the production of the play El divorcio del año issued any statement about the impact of the accident on the cast. So far, only La Nación’s account is available, so any other version or statement from Igarzábal or witnesses could provide more context.
