Although the cause of her death is not known, Anabel Gutiérrez's name and her triumphant passage through Cine de Oro have become a trend on social media.

 "Six hours after saying goodbye and receiving her blessing, my beloved aunt Anabel Gutiérrez passed away this Sunday night. QEPD... I will always remember you!" read a post from her nephew, José Luis Arévalo, on Twitter.
