Mónica Noguera faces a painful family loss
The renowned host Mónica Noguera confirmed the death of her brother-in-law, Leo Forma, which occurred on August 4. The death, the result of a suicide, has shocked his close circle due to the close relationship they had. Noguera described Forma as a brotherly figure, highlighting the emotional bond that united them.
A call for awareness about mental health
The television personality used his social networks to share reflections on depression, a disorder that deeply affected Forma, a professional surfer of Brazilian origin living in Mexico. In a publication accompanied by a youthful image of the athlete, he wrote: “Forever in my soul”, highlighting the void that his departure represents.
Noguera emphasized the seriousness of mental illnesses: “Depression can have devastating effects on those who suffer from it and their families… Seek help, even in the midst of the most intense pain.” This message seeks to raise public awareness about the urgency of treating these conditions with professionalism and without stigma.
The legacy of Leo Forma and his family impact
Forma, husband of Alejandra (Noguera’s sister) and father of three children – Luciana, Natasha and Jan Safir – was known in the surfing field for his international career. His death not only leaves a sporting void, but also exposes the consequences of not adequately treating psychological problems. The driver insisted that professional support and emotional accompaniment are key to preventing similar tragedies.
This case reflects a global problem: according to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 700,000 people die by suicide annually, with depression being one of the main factors. Experts agree that early detection and access to therapies save lives.
How to help? If you or someone close to you is experiencing self-destructive thoughts, contact local crisis lines or seek psychological counseling. Prevention begins with empathy and action.
