Melvin TV, a renowned Dominican communicator, died after a long illness that caused constant pain and the need for 24-hour attention. His sisters, Jenny Barbie and Jennifer Hernández, were present in the most difficult stage of his life and describe in detail the final moments of the artist.
The Moment of Goodbye
Jennifer Hernández remembered the exact moment when Melvin stopped breathing: “I fell to my knees crying and said, ‘What do I do?’”, she explained while describing her reaction. The sister stated that she saw the communicator give his last breath and, immediately after, the people present decided not to communicate the news in a hurry.
Physical Deterioration and Constant Care
The communicator suffered significant physical deterioration, with difficulties moving and the need to sit sideways to be able to sit. Jenny Barbie remembered that Jennifer was with him during the 24 hours of the day, attending to his needs and making sure he was not alone, although at times she felt so exhausted that she thought of abandoning the care.
Expenses and Financial Support
The costly treatments included visits from professionals who charged 8,000 pesos each and healing materials for 23,000 pesos. A total expense of 120,000 pesos is mentioned, although it is not clear if it corresponds to the rental of some service.
Melvin received attention at Plaza de la Salud and the National Health Insurance (SeNaSa) covered part of the expenses. In addition, the producer Topo Point and Santiago Matías collaborated, with a contribution of 200,000 pesos. The coffin cost 300,000 pesos and the initial payment for the home was 280,000 pesos.
The Memory of the Sisters
Jennifer Hernández still feels the absence of her brother and remembers the moments when Melvin left his media persona behind to live in the intimacy of the family. The sister’s account provides a moving account of the last stage of the life of a beloved Dominican communicator.
