Family conflict after the death of Juan Tamariz: accusations crossed between his children and his widow

Juan Tamariz is no longer there to pull out of his hat a dove of peace or a violin to tame wild beasts. His death, on the 18th, has uncovered the difficult relationships that his children had with his widow, his second wife, Consuelo Lorgia, to whom he had been married since 2008.

Consuelo Lorgia is a Colombian magician and illusionist. Sister of the well-known magician Gustavo Lorgia, she has several international awards and has dedicated herself to the world of illusionism for more than thirty years.

In the dance of accusations, it has emerged that Juan and his wife had a complicated relationship in recent times and that it was his four children who took care of the illusionist, who was affected by Parkinson's.

Carlos García, collaborator of It's Summer, which Pepa Romero presents on Antena 3, told Consuelo's version. According to her, Tamariz's children admitted him without her knowledge to a residence at the beginning of the year, due to the mobility problems that the disease had caused, and they did not allow her to visit him. In fact, he had to investigate on his own where the magician had been entered in order to see him.

Finally, he managed to locate him through several messages with the illusionist himself. To gain access to the residence, she showed photographs of her wedding to the center's workers. "When I arrived, it was written that only the four children could visit him," he said. "And his eyes were swollen from crying," he said.

Her brother-in-law (Juan's brother) admitted that his children had forbidden him to talk to her. The widow points out that, however, the hardest moment was not being able to say goodbye to Juan. She offered to replace one of the children in hospital care on the day of his death, around 2 p.m., but they did not let her. When he insisted, they told him that the funeral home was arriving because Juan had just died. It was 4 pm: "I swear to you, I swear to God, I still don't understand it. I still don't understand many things," he told Carlos García.

Carlos García explained that "the issue of the relationship between Juan and the children was a melon that had been going on for a long time and that Juan and Consuelo had not always had, far from it, a consensus on how to deal with it." Furthermore, he revealed that at the funeral home, during the magician's wake, "at no time did we see any interaction" between Tamariz and Consuelo's children. She was alone, along with a small group of acquaintances.

Journalist Lorena Vázquez shared this version and highlighted "the loving and respectful care that Juan's children had with him."
