Polo Polo, whose real name is Leopoldo Roberto García Peláez, retired in 2016 without any explanation.
Rumors started to swirl about the comedian’s alleged Alzheimer’s disease.
“What I know and that much is said is that good Polo is struggling with Alzheimer’s, I just want it to be okay,” said fellow star Jorge Falcón.
Another Mexican comedian, Luis de Alba, said that he knew Polo Polo was ill but didn’t give specifics.
However, Polo Polo’s manager, Miguel Banda, put these rumors to rest in 2017.
Banda said that the comedian retired because he wanted to live a quieter life.

In recent years, comedian Jorge Carranza El Costeño said that Polo Polo was “stable,” for the program De Primera Mano.
“You have a lot that I don’t see your son, who was my neighbor, but I know that he is fine, that he is well taken care of, blessed God…
“But as far as I know from the other partner of El Cuevón is that Polo is stable, okay,” he said.
Originally from León, Guanajuato, Polo Polo became a national Mexican comic sensation in the 1980s and 1990s.
His jokes and routines were on the raunchier side, often full of sexual references, double meaning, and acid humor.
Polo Polo also collaborated in film productions such as La lechería de Zacarías and El chico Temido, among others.
In the TV world, Polo Polo was a host for the show Con Ganas.
The cause of the comedian’s death is unknown at this time.
