Rojas López’s body was transported to the Institute of Legal Sciences in San Juan.
Later, the singer Gilberto Santa Rosa, also a salsa performer, mourned the death of his partner in a message he wrote on the social network Twitter.
“I still don’t think … My dear rooster, we will miss you and we will remember you in every song”, read part of the message.
Julio Cesar Rojas López, the singer’s first name, was 65 years old and had a long musical career. He is said to have performed his hits in several countries in Latin America and around the world.
