4:57 as a public relations specialist for canel TV in addition to a successful career on the music scene in television Edith also decided to try herself as a fashion designer creating seductive lingerie by her own sketches and in this case she also waited for success and the brand she created quickly gained popularity among women almost all over America for whatever business did not take Sharon she everywhere succeeded achieving Great Heights and recognition personal life of the performer despite the dizzy success on stage television and fashion business the personal life of one of the main stars of Ecuador was not so Rosy she did not like to touch on this topic in conversations with the press and in every way avoided such questions from journalists however sharan laah hexer was constantly in the crosshairs of numerous photo and video cameras so to hide anything from prying eyes was simply impossible it is known

5:55 that in the mid90s the aspiring performer was romantically involved with an entrepreneur and music producer named Eduardo gray for several years the couple was officially engaged but the wedding never came to the wedding although Edith gave birth to a daughter from her lover she named her ays Samantha the daughter inherited the entrepreneurial Vain and Artistry of her mother also becoming quite a famous performer and actress but to surpass her mother she failed despite all the efforts and available connections soon after parting with Eduardo Sharon spun a new Romance this time her chosen one was a little known television operator with whom she met while working on one of the telen nolas their relationship developed rapidly and after a short engagement the couple played a modest wedding trying to hide this event from others but the news quickly became public and the marriage itself lasted a short time about the

6:49 reasons for the sudden divorce of the performer preferred to keep silent later on the artist had romantic relationships with a famous impressario named Pedro Francisco then with a young dancer from the show ballet who performed with her on stage as well as with some of her star colleagues unfortunately none of these romances did not have a serious continuation and Sharon broke up with her boyfriends for various reasons the performer herself did not want to comment on the events that took place in her personal life she raised a daughter engaged in career but still hoped that one day in her life there will be a worthy loving man relationship with giovan Lopez in 2009 the performer met a young man named giovan Lopez who was more than 10 years younger than her he was also a native of Ecuador but as a child together with his parents immigrated to the United States the family settled in New York City where virtually all of

7:47 giovan's childhood and Adolescence took place they first met during a large tour of the singer in the United States but at that time their communication was limited to work and Lopez himself helped with the organization of Sharon's performance but probably even then these two have already penetrated some sympathy for each other in addition it turned out that the young man was a longtime fan of the queen of technocumbia and he was honored to have the opportunity to work with her personally a year later Giovani decided to return to his native Ecuador he brought with him the designs he had developed for artists one of which he created specifically for Sharon so began their collaboration and almost immediately a stormy romance broke out between them at the time of the beginning of this relationship the performer was already 36 years old and Giovani was barely 24 years old however the 12-year age difference did not

8:45 embarrass them at all and the couple did not care what people around them would think about it and how they will write about them in the Press almost immediately the lovers moved in together deciding to live together however it should be noted that the parents and daughter of the per former treated her new chosen one very cautiously Giovani immediately they did not like it and they decided that the young man Twisted romance with the star solely for his own selfish purposes and in fact did not love her at all but only wanted to use Sharon listened to the warnings of loved ones did not because she believed that met the main man in his life with whom they will live many happy years soon the couple married and the couple began to think about the birth of a common heir however here they faced a problem because the performer could not get pregnant as a result she decided to invitro fertilization and in May 2012

9:40 38-year-old celebrity gave birth to a boy who was named Brian Giovani Lopez the abusive relationship Giovani only at first tried to be a caring and loving man on whom you can rely in everything however as soon as the couple concluded marriage and the performer became pregnant the behavior of the young husband began to change changed rapidly and he himself literally turned into a domestic Tyrant he no longer sought to earn money independently and he was quite satisfied with the position of an alance he willingly spent his wife's money for his own needs entertainment expensive clothes and care for his appearance in addition Lopez began to abuse alcoholic beverages and less and less often appeared at home preferring to spend time with friends and Mistresses to all this Javan began to openly insult his wife pointing to her age and fading Beauty According to some reports because of his offensive statements and remarks

10:39 Sharon decided to do a number of plastic surgeries to preserve her Youth and look like her husband in particular the performer enlarged her breasts did a lift and several cosmetic manipulations but all her efforts were in vain and did not help to return to the family peace and Harmony queen of technocumbia continued to work actively starred in TV series hosted entertainment shows as well as preparing material for the recording of a new album she tried to smile in public and claimed that she was finally happy in her personal life however only people close to her knew about how things were really going in her family in early 2014 when Little Brian was not yet two years old the artist made the first serious attempt to break off the relationship with Giovani but he said that he would agree to give a divorce only if Sharon will give him half of his property and funds in her bank accounts so that he

11:36 after the separation could continue to lead an idle and carefree lifestyle to which he was used to Sharon could not agree to these conditions and so began to consult with lawyers how to dissolve the marriage but at the same time to keep the property and get full custody of their joint young son by the end of the year family life became simply unbearable but the couple continued in public to play the role of happy spouses one last family trip on the eve of the New Year 2015 the performer gave a number of festive concerts and also starred together with her star colleagues in several dedicated Christmas and New Year's events after that exhausted by work the young woman decided to arrange a small vacation and go with friends husband and son to the warm Coast to relax a little try to gather her thoughts and de decide what to do next on the evening of January 3rd 2015 the whole company decided to make

12:35 the return trip since the journey was going to be long and they were traveling by car the friends decided to follow each other and be in constant contact in case someone needed help they decided to coordinate all the stops on the way in advance Sharon had to drive the car that evening because her husband had been drinking alcoholic beverages all day after a few hours the company made a stop at a gas station and decided to have dinner there in a Roadside Cafe during the meal the singer and her young husband had a big fight because Giovani again ordered a drink although earlier he promised that he would not drink and get behind the wheel giving Sharon the opportunity to rest and give time to the child the couple argued for about half an hour and could not agree on who would drive the car in the end their friends could not stand it and asked if they could continue on their way the singer said said that she

13:29 did not want to delay them because of her family problems so they could go on and he and Giovani would have to stay a little longer the friends reluctantly agreed and after another half hour headed to their car leaving the couple at a Roadside Cafe they had no idea that they would never see Sharon alive again strange accident on January 4th around half 2 in the morning the friends received a phone call from an agitated Giovani asking them to come back because there had been an accident and Sharon might be dead his words were a real shock because he did not specify details and it was completely unclear what had happened on the night Road by the time they returned Emergency Services were already on the scene trying to help the victim and reconstruct the picture of events according to Giovani on the highway rout Del spilus near the Ecuadorian province of Santa Elena at about 1:15 a.m. his wife got out of the

14:26 car to calm her crying son and change his diaper at that moment another car crashed into her at a great speed this car without even stopping sped away leaving the scene of the accident the young woman was thrown a few dozen meters to the side of the road from the impact when the ambulance arrived she was still alive she was even taken to the hospital but despite the best efforts of the doctors Sharon soon died of massive injuries and internal bleeding Giovani was still drunk and Confused in his testimony and his story sounded rather strange and not quite logical the police therefore decided to detain him until morning to question him in detail when he had sobered up Lopez confirmed the words of friends that he and his wife quarreled all evening and admitted that contrary to the promises and prohibitions of his wife defiantly drank alcohol in order not to drive and piss off Sharon giovan's testimony he did not see

15:27 the license plate number of the car that that HIIT his wife he did not even remember the make and only said that the car was white there were no CCTV cameras on that stretch of road no Witnesses could be found and the accident itself looked suspicious because Sharon did not even turn to the side of the road before leaving the cabin and did not make sure of safety although on a straight deserted Road any vehicle can be seen and heard from afar even at night the longer the police tried to correlate all the facts with Lopez's story The more what had happened resembled not an accident but a premeditated murder Giovani was confused about the timing and chronology of events could not remember details but most interestingly he could not explain why their car was turned in the opposite direction to the route they were traveling after another interrogation the husband of the Dead singer was arrested as the main suspect

16:20 in the case of her death the autopsy results and Sharon's funeral the autopsy revealed that the deceased woman's body had numerous injuries injuries typical of a victim of a traffic accident however experts also found a clear and fairly deep mark on Sharon's chest that could have been left by a seat belt this fact raised even more questions and suspicions Samantha who spent New Year's holidays in the company of her boyfriend learned about the tragedy from singer Sonia Ramos a close friend and colleague of her mother the girl could not believe that all this is really happening she called her father Eduardo gray and asked him to come to her as soon as possible so that they went to Sharon's home together and began preparations for the funeral after making all the preliminary Arrangements the body of the celebrity was taken to the Coliseum serado voler Paladin's Polo in the province of guak

17:14 yil to say goodbye to one of the brightest stars of Ecuador came thousands of her friends colleagues and fans also this s event was covered in all leading publications of the country and on television was even announced a one-day morning grief stricken Samantha sobbed on the shoulder of her father and near were her grandmother grandfather and uncle and Aunt all members of the deceased celebrities family refused to comment in any way on what had happened none of them accused Giovani of what happened directly but all of them showed their negative attitude towards him an investigation and a surprise Court decision the case was one of the most high-profile in Ecuador's history it was widely cut covered in the press and jeopardized the reputation of the country's Judicial System the initial verdict literally shocked relatives and fans of the celebrity and the revision of the case was delayed so much that the

18:10 final point in this matter has not been put to this day so the white car which presumably hit the artist was found a few days later the car had characteristic damage which as experts have established could be obtained as a result of an accident if you hit a person at High speed the owner of the vehicle was a young woman named Tatiana Chavez who categorically denied her involvement in the accident however the prosecutor's office opened two criminal cases at once negligent homicide against Tatiana and premeditated murder against Giovani Lopez's story sounded extremely unconvincing he was confused and contradicted himself then recognized the car and even claimed to have seen the driver then again doubted his own words referring to alcohol intoxication in parallel the daughter and parents of the deceased also filed a statement blaming the singer's husband for the incident in their opinion he

19:10 never loved Sharon and had a motive for the murder in order to seize her money and get custody of the child Samantha noted that her mother shortly before the tragedy consulted with lawyers about the dissolution of the marriage Samantha also added that her little brother who was the only witness to the incident cries all the time and repeats daddy is bad however they did not involve the child as a witness in order not to cause the boy even more psychological trauma after a detailed reconstruction of the events of that evening Tatiana was ruled out as a suspect by comparing the times and places where Tatiana had been seen before and after the accident it was determined that she could not have been physically near the accident site at that time and her car had been damaged in another accident the the other car was soon found to be the one that was found to have hit Sharon the owner Luis Coro who had been driving that night was

20:06 arrested by that time he had already managed to replace the broken headlight and repair other body damage but experts were able to establish that at the scene of the accident were found shards of glass from his car Luis himself admitted to everything and said that Sharon literally fell under the wheels of his car and he was so scared of what happened that he just drove away in June 2015 Giovani was found guilty of manslaughter of his wife experts proved that the injury on the woman's chest from the seat belt was caused by her trying to protect herself before her husband pushed her out of the car right under the wheels of another car however the Court verdict shocked Sharon's relatives and fans because her killer was only given 3 years a retrial in attempts to appeal the new verdict such a lenient sentence caused a storm of excitement in the media and provoked a lot of protests across the country

21:03 people demanded Fair punishment for the murderer of the star and National favorite already in July of the same year the judges involved in the case were suspended and subsequently dismissed the new judicial staff canceled the previous verdict arguing that a number of administrative and bureaucratic mistakes had been made all attempts by the defense lawyers to challenge the reversal of the verdict were unsuccessful Luis Carrero was cleared of responsibility for the singer's death but he was still charged with fleeing the scene and attempting to conceal evidence but Giovani Lopez was brought to every court session under heavy Security in order to avoid attacks on him fans of Sharon in October 2015 the husband of the singer was found guilty of her death and sentenced to 26 years in prison the court also took into account the evidence provided by Samantha evidence of giovan's cruel treat treatment of her mother as well as

22:00 the fact that he blackmailed his wife demanding from her a fabulous sum for consent to divorce a few months later two appeals were filed at once the prosecution demanded to increase the term to the maximum 35 years and the lawyers insisted on the illegality of the new sentence however both complaints were rejected in 2021 Lopez again tried to challenge the Court's decision in addition he stated that he was subjected to ill treatment in prison and his rights were grossly violated The Prisoner even went on a hunger strike to pressure the court to release him he argued that he was wrongfully convicted and the main perpetrator of the tragedy Luis Carrero remained free in 2023 Giovani already with a new lawyer appealed again once again hoping to secure his release it is worth noting that in this difficult case the composition of the judges was again changed due to the revealed abuse of power

22:59 therefore Lopez's defense hopes not only to challenge the verdict but also to seek compensation for the years spent in prison thanks for watching guys subscribe to the channel and don't forget to click on the Bell not to miss new stories from around the world see you soon take care
