Ahead of his demise, Pedro Juan Figueroa was working with the cast of Lo Sé Todo, which includes Fernan Vélez "Nalgorazzi", Saudi Rivera, Enrique "Kiké" Cruz, among others. Héctor Marcano, a renowned figure in the industry, has since issued a statement announcing his demise:

"Pedro Juan Figueroa dies. We knew about his delicate health situation and, even so, he continued as if nothing had happened, with that silent integrity that only those who understand life from responsibility and dignity have. A few weeks ago the body could no longer. Life is a breath. Today Pedro Juan Figueroa rests in peace. I had the opportunity to work with Pedro Juan a few years ago and I will always keep the memory of a compliant man, respectful and committed to his work, even in the midst of his own battles. To his family and loved ones, my supportive hug. May they find comfort in the certainty that his footprint was real and his step was not in vain. May he rest in peace," wrote the producer and television presenter, per Metro PR.
