Xavier López, a Mexican youngsters’ comic better realized by his stage name “Chabelo,” has kicked the bucket at 88, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador composed Saturday.

López’s most popular work, the Sunday theatrical presentation En Familia con Chabelo, ran for an amazingly long time from 1967 to 2015.

The Mexican president wrote on his Twitter account that his own oldest child, José Ramón, “got up right on time to see him (on TV) over quite a while back.”

López, who was no connection to the president, ordinarily performed wearing youngster’s clothing ways into his 80s. He helped found a sort of grown-up comics dressed as children that turned into a staple for a long time on Mexican TV.

His life span — he acted in a youngster’s rough squeak all through his profession — prompted the kidding theory he would outlast every other person on the stage.

López’s representative, Jessica Neville, said he kicked the bucket Saturday morning, and that burial service plans would be reported later.

A U.S. resident — he was brought into the world in Chicago to Mexican guardians — López got back to Mexico with his family very early on and prepared as a specialist. Yet, he tracked down his bringing in acting.

The comic’s family composed on his fan page that López “passed on out of nowhere on stomach inconveniences.”

He was made due by a few youngsters and his significant other.
