Celebrity Hairstylist Jesus Guerrero’s Cause of Death Revealed
The cause of death for celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero has been announced, according to a report published by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner. The 34-year-old, who died in February, was known for working with high-profile clients including Kylie Jenner, Katy Perry, Dua Lipa, RosalÃa, Jessica Alba, Demi Moore, and Jennifer Lopez.
According to the report, Guerrero died of severe pneumonia. The report stated that he had a weakened immune system and contracted a lung infection in addition to Cryptococcosis, a disease caused by breathing in spores from the yeast fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. The Centers for Disease Control states that Cryptococcus is found in several different places in the environment, including soil, bird dung, decaying wood, and some trees.
Guerrero’s death was announced on a GoFundMe page set up by his family. The page’s description explained how Jesus was able to achieve the career he had, stating that he "learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top" despite being born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents. The page has since been closed down after exceeding its $60,000 goal with $96,000 raised.
The Independent has learned that many people turned to social media to express their condolences after Jesus’s death. Jenner’s makeup artist, Ariel Tejada, posted on Instagram, sharing various photos of the two of them together alongside a lengthy caption. "2•22, one of God’s most Beautiful Angels has just opened his wings and flew to join him in heaven, and watch over me," his caption began. "Last night I experienced the most painful, breath-taking pain I have ever felt when I found out you left us @jesushair."
Fellow celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin also shared a tribute of her own on her Instagram Story. "Our hearts will never be the same," she wrote over a group photo including her and Jesus. "Such a loving light and talent we lost too soon. Jesus gave his all to everything he did and he left such an impact on all that knew him. He showed up 10 years ago from Texas with all of this insane talent and warmth and an unforgettable SMILE."
The news of Guerrero’s death has sent shockwaves through the celebrity world, with many of his clients and colleagues paying tribute to his memory. As reported by The Independent, Guerrero’s family had set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the costs of bringing him home to Houston.
In a statement, Guerrero’s sister Gris explained that his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly. "My name is Gris, Jesus’s younger sister," the page’s description began. "It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven. He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more."
