Walter Mercado, Puerto Rican Astrologer, Dies at 87
Mercado died on Saturday night, his niece Dannette Benet Mercado confirms to PEOPLE.
Mercado had been in the hospital since October, according to Telemundo Puerto Rico. The outlet reported that earlier this week, Dando Candela host Fernan Vélez said he was in stable condition. Finding his psychic calling as a child, Mercado previously told PEOPLE en Español that he “would get home from school, sit in a small chair and people would come to meet me. They touched me and kissed my hand. Like I was a pope, and I was a little boy!”
Mercado’s enigmatic and larger-than-life personality — accented with colorful capes, exotic rings, and positive spiritual messages — made him loved by the masses.
