Shocking news has shaken the entertainment world after it was learned that the Chilean actress Mariana Derderián is in mourning from the loss of her six-year-old son. The little boy tragically died in a fire that occurred in her house, which also left her ex-husband suffering from serious burns.
According to the local press, the actress herself was at the home with her children, Leticia, 9, and Pedro, 6. The fire ignited at around 2 a.m. when Derderián noticed the smoke, according to a report from Chilean media agency, CHV News.
Although the actress immediately tried to save her children and managed to access Leticia's room, whom she saved, she was unable to reach Pedro's room, leaving him trapped amid the flames.
Since it is a two-story house, and the little boy's room has bars for protection, it was very difficult to rescue him despite the attempts of the actress and the child's father and ex-partner of the actress, journalist Francisco Aravena.
