Palma de Mallorca. Francisco Guterrez aka "Captain Jack" ("Drill Instructor") died at the age of 43. The good-mood singer (sold seven million records) already collapsed on monday at a party in Palma de Mallorca. He was taken to the hospital "Juaneda" with the suspicion of stroke. The doctors had already lost all hope. In the night to friday he has fallen into eternal sleep without ever regaining his consciousness, according to his ex-wife Daniela Schaefer.
The drama around "Captain Jack" started at a party at Palma. The native-born Cuban (wearing his dance commander uniform) grasped at his chest and collapsed. Siegfried Blau, a good friend: "It was awful. We called the ambulance right away. But Franky wasn't transportable. He lay on the terrace for a hour, the paramedics battled for his life." Slightly stabilized he was finally transfered to the hospital.
Three years ago the singer suffered a crippling stroke. He had a hemiplegia, could barely speak. "Of late Franky had a lot stress, was traveling around, had a lot of gigs", said his manager Niebergall. And just now, where he met his son Francisco (21, lives at Miami) again after years on Mallorca, he was hit by a second stroke that caused his dead.
I loved his first album called "The Mission", great music.
May he rest in peace.
