Andrea’s sacrifice left the family mourning; reports list Héctor as the surviving spouse, and he has clearly stated his daughter’s safety while mourning his wife. The incident was reported by People.com, BBC, The New York Times, E! News, and Us Weekly. In a follow‑up interview, Bello said his daughter, now 20 months old, is making a good recovery and that he is concentrating on her care.
