Who is Raquel Sánchez-Silva?
Raquel Sánchez-Silva is a popular Spanish TV presenter and author who married Mario Biondo. Raquel was born on January 13, 1973, and would go on to study journalism before entering the world of television.
Raquel would be taken on as a news anchor for Telemadrid before becoming involved in reality TV shows.
Raquel is a well-known popular personality, and due to her high profile, the media covered the marriage between her and cameraman Mario. However, tragically, Mario was found dead in 2013, and rumors of drug abuse surrounded his death, which would be considered unintentional suicide by three coroners.
Raquel entered into another relationship with Matas Dumont in 2014, resulting in the birth of her twins in 2015.

What happened to Mario Biondo?
Mario would be found dead in 2013. He was found to have committed unintentional suicide at his home library. Mario was found with a pashmina shawl wrapped around his neck, and to this day, his family and friends have stated that the death was not suicide as initially ruled.
Mario’s parents were never convinced by the evidence that their son committed suicide and have campaigned relentlessly to have the case further examined.
In August of 2022, an Italian court ruled that his death may have involved foul play and inferred that the crime scene may have been tampered with.
The case is ongoing.
