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/

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!
