How was the death of Jorge Dorio
As confirmed by his son Franco, it all started after the conference that the writer held last week in Salliqueló, a town in the province of Buenos Aires.
After the meeting called “Café Cultura” and held at the Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Cultural Center in that city, the 65-year-old man had a heart attack and was hospitalized.
Following this condition, Jorge was transferred to Trenque Lauquen, where two stents were placed. After spending several days intubated, he managed to come off the ventilator, they moved him to an apartment and waited for him to stabilize before moving him to Buenos Aires.
But in the early hours of this Wednesday he had a heart attack again and this time they were unable to resuscitate him. The journalist was close to turning 66 on March 23.
Jorge Dorio’s confession to Clarín: “Having driven 6,7,8 took away my job”
In 2019, the journalist spoke to this medium and looked back on his professional career and the work he has done.
Away from television, Dorio explained the reasons for his presence on the small screen: “It wasn’t a matter of my will, but rather the fact that they didn’t call me. It’s a medium that I really like. Many years ago, I had the I was lucky to be able to do, on Channel 13, with Juan Alberto Badía, El monitor argentino. There I was able to write, drive, invent things.”
“All the experiences that followed later in my career came from above… For his part, every year I call the producers I know and I’m surviving. We have to work…”, he specified regarding his way of operate in the media, in communication.
When asked if he believed the reason he hadn’t been called was because of his position as head of the program 6,7,8 on Public TV, the writer responded forcefully: “It definitely did. Driving took away my job.” 6,7,8…”.
But later, he took something positive away from that work: “Even though I really enjoyed that experience. I think I did a good job, I’m happy with what I did in that time. I know a lot of people found the my participation was annoying and dissatisfied and from then on they never gave me the ball again.”
