According to the fire department, the doorman of the apartment rushed to the scene of the accident and made an emergency call after hearing the sound of falling down the building.

Shortly afterwards, the Casimiro Urioa Hospital issued a statement: "At 4:10 a.m., Mr. Diego Bertie (54 years old) was admitted to the hospital, immediately received professional treatment and confirmed his death. We regret this and express our deepest condolences to their relatives and friends."
When Diego Bertie died, only his female nanny accompanied him. It is reported that from the age of 22, the nanny has been with him since Diego Bertie was 22 years old, after he had said that the other party was his mother.
After a police investigation, it was confirmed that there were no signs of violence at the scene and that Diego Bertie was alone at the time of the crash. "We will continue to investigate, with specific information awaiting the results of the autopsy"
Carlos, Diego Bertie's agent, said he would not provide more details about the death "out of respect for the actor's relatives."] It was also reported that Diego Bertie's father had also died by suicide.
Diego Bertie was born on November 2, 1967, and in 1986 he joined images and ventured into the entertainment industry as a singer. Since 1990, Diego Bertie has transformed into an actor, starring in dozens of film and television dramas such as "The Andeans Don't Believe in God", "Through the Shadows", "Timeless Baby" and so on.
Diego Bertie has recently returned to the music scene, with plans to start regular concerts under the name "Good Times", with performances every Thursday. On the 24th of last month, he also released a dynamic to promote his upcoming concert.
However, on the first Thursday of August, the day before Diego Bertie jumped off the building, the concert did not take place as scheduled, after staff said that Diego Bertie had symptoms of covid-19 and postponed the performance.
In an interview at the end of May, Diego Bertie admitted for the first time that he liked men.
He admits that he had a brief and failed relationship with host Jaime Bayly, which was not a good one. In 1994, Jamie Bailey published the book "Don't Tell Anyone", revealing that he had an intimate relationship with a young Peruvian high-society actor. Soon, the public guessed that the protagonist was Diego Bertie, and as a result, for a long time after that, Diego Bertie was always in the middle of controversy. "He exposed my personal privacy, invaded my family, my daughter, my life, my career, and he did me a lot of harm."
Diego Bertie considers himself a free and optimistic person, and his daughter has known her father's orientation since she was 6 years old and can accept it.
It is reported that the National Theater of Peru has confirmed that it is open to the family of Diego Bertie, and if they need it, a memorial service can be held here. "I think all the fans and the public who love him also want to be able to say goodbye to him. However, out of respect for the family, the decision is left to the family," said the staff member.
After the news of Diego Bertie's death came out, many friends in the circle expressed their condolences and expressed their shock at the bad news, and wished him all the way well, and continued to sing and act in heaven.
