Although the reason of her death hasn’t been officially revealed, it is suspected that she passed away from stomach cancer. About 12 years ago, it was reported that Velasco was being treated for the disease and when she was confronted about it, she denied that she was even sick. Last February however, after much speculation, Lourdes Pellegrino who is in charge of ANDA (National Actors Association) was questioned about the health issues that Velasco was supposedly facing, and once again, the information was denied.
The iconic “India María” made her last appearance at the premiere of “La Hija de Moctezuma” in 2014, which was Velasco’s last film as the emblematic character that we all love, and adore.
OMG No, She was the Queen of comedy. At the same time though her movies were kind of racist because people made fun of indigenous people--but there weren't bad intentions back then. I enjoyed her movies
I remember someone started a rumor that she was the mother of the singer from Belanova

She is, but in the movies indigenous people are depicted as dumb and poor....but back then people didn't think like that, like I said there weren't bad intentions back then.
