Roel Navarro

I noticed that the Season 4 premiere of Mayans M.C. was dedicated to the late Roel Navarro https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2648065/ who starred in Season 2 and 3, then saw that he's listed on IMDb as having passed away on 5th Jan 2019, this cannot be correct, Mayans was only renewed for Season 2 in Oct'18 and Season 3 in Nov'19, he couldn't possibly have appeared in 6 episodes of Season 3 if that date was correct, nor would they wait over 2 years to dedicate an episode to him. It's more likely he passed more recently. I'm drawing a blank on finding a decent source for this listed date, does anyone have a way to find out the real date?

Yeah you're so right.

He has posts on his instagram throughout 2020: https://www.instagram.com/roelnavarro_official/

And his last post is from May 2021: https://www.instagram.com/p/COafCnaJDtx/

So, 2019 date of death is not possible. It looks like that January 5, 2019 date comes from this obit: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/themonitor/name/roel-navarro-obituary?id=9998860

Same name but if you read the obit it's for someone who is "electrician", not an actor and picture is clearly someone else. So it shouldn't have been approved.

Comments on his instagram posts about his death by his friends start in October 2021.

This friend of him posts about his death on October 2021: https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDwW-Wr_ol/

This friend says he died on October 7, 2021: https://www.instagram.com/p/CVBmQqevHgn/

This friend says he died by heart attack: https://www.instagram.com/p/CVW1EAgLciO/

@mbmb​ Excellent detective work. I think the data in your post is enough to have it corrected, especially as you found the source of the error with the existing incorrect date. If you haven't already submitted a correction, I'll get right on it next,

Thanks again, for your effort.

Hi VonPunk & mbmb -

Good catch and excellent sleuthing!  The death date correction has now been approved for Roel Navarro, the correction should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!

@Michelle​ I think you should lock that item because someone changed it back to incorrect data again.

@Michelle​ Also someone added incorrect date of birth now too, that newly added DOB is from that obit which is for someone else.

And someone added a Birth Name, which is the name of the show he was a part of (Mayans), someone thought the show he was a part of is his birth name and editors approved that?

And "Corpus Christi, Texas, USA" place of death is from that obit as well.

So in short, you need to delete: Date of Birth, Birth Name

You need to correct: Date of Death to October 7, 2021 and remove the place of death.

@Michelle​ I don't know if you did it or a contributor made a submission, incorrect Birth Name is removed now and date of death is changed to correct October 7 but date of birth is still not removed and also a new incorrect data from that obit is added now (Spouse)

Also "heart attack" cause is deleted for no reason?

Hi VonPunk & mbmb,

Thanks for reporting the incorrect data! I have removed the incorrect Spouse information for Roel Navarro. I have made sure and the incorrect date of birht and "heart attack" cause was removed already.

If anything else, we are glad to help! Cheers!

@Fran​ Thanks but "heart attack" cause was correct (spouse, DOB, birth name and place of death were incorrect), can you add "heart attack" again?

And can you do something to prevent it to be changed to 2019 again?
