Eduardo Estrada Palomo (Spanish pronunciation: [eˈðwaɾðo paˈlomo]; (México City; May 13, 1962 – Los Angeles; November 6, 2003) was a Mexican actor. Palomo became famous across Mexico and Latin America after his 1993 Juan del Diablo characterization in Corazón salvaje.

Career

He started acting in theatre at the age of 12 and found fame with the success of Corazón salvaje. He went on to make several other successful telenovelas and films in México. He also recorded an album titled Mover El Tiempo in early 1994.

He was determined not to star in any other soap opera after Ramona (co-starring with Kate del Castillo), but the sequel to Corazón salvaje was something he could not refuse. He was working on a Los Angeles production of the play Una Pareja Con Ángel (written by Palomo and previously produced in Mexico) when he died.

Palomo was in the process of "crossing-over" to American television audiences where he guest starred on shows such as Arrested Development, Kingpin and was to star in a CBS series. His last role was in A Day Without a Mexican (2004).

Personal life

Palomo was one of Jesús Estrada and Miliza Palomo's sons. His siblings were brother Jesús Jr. and sister Susana.

Palomo married the singer and actress Carina Ricco on November 26, 1994. They had two children; daughter Fiona and son Luca.

He moved from his native México to pursue a career in Hollywood.

Death

On the night of November 6, 2003, Palomo, wife Carina Ricco along with friends Sergio Arau and wife Yareli Arizmendi were on a night out in L.A.'s Melrose Avenue. Sometime between 10 and 10:30 pm (PT), Palomo while breaking out in laughter, slowly began tilting his head forward almost simulating as if he were to be falling asleep. About five to fifteen minutes had passed by before anyone noticed he was actually unresponsive. Arau and Arizmendi performed CPR attempts to no avail. Paramedics arrived at the scene within ten minutes, CPR was once again attempted but proved unsuccessful. It was then declared that Palomo had died at the scene due to a sudden heart attack. He was 41 years old.
