ARGENTINA – OCTOBER 2, 2025 66-year-old Hernán Damiani, a politician, member of the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR), and former deputy of the province of Misiones, died during a live television debate on the show Dollar Bleu. He was discussing economic issues when he suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground.
The live broadcast was shortly thereafter interrupted, and the production team immediately called for medical assistance. However, he could not be revived and was declared dead. The cause of death was determined to be sudden heart failure.
His death during a live broadcast shocked both the public and the political scene. The event also sparked discussion about the health burden that Argentine politics imposes and how frequently political leaders are exposed to extreme stress during a deep economic crisis.
For the rest of us, his death serves as a reminder of how fragile human life is and that we should value it. Death can come suddenly and very unexpectedly. Nevertheless, prevention is extremely important, as it usually allows heart conditions to be detected in time. Do not neglect it.
