Telenovela Star and Singer Maribel Guardia Renounces Her Grandson After Alleged Threat, as Lawyer Raises New Questions About Julián Figueroa's Death

Mexican television star Maribel Guardia has spent more than three years mourning the death of Julián Figueroa, her only son, born during her marriage to legendary singer-songwriter Joan Sebastian.
