More details about Jesus Guerrero’s final days are coming to light.
Prior to his sudden death at age 34, the celebrity hairstylist seemed to have been working with Jennifer Lopez as she traveled to the United Arab Emirates, according to a post on Lopez’s social media.
In the Feb. 19 Instagram post, the “Let’s Get Loud” singer shared photos from the overseas excursion and tagged her glam squad, including Guerrero. J.Lo—who performed at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena Feb. 18 before hitting the stage in Abu Dhabi Feb. 20—captioned the post writing, “Business trip.”
Shortly after the gig, Guerrero’s sister Gris announced that the hairstylist had died in a GoFundMe post.
“It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven,” she wrote on the fundraising platform Feb. 22. “Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly. Currently, his family is taking care of his personal belongings and accommodations to bring him home to Houston.”
