The Mexican entertainment industry has been left in shock and sorrow with the confirmation of James Hollcroft's tragic death. The 26-year-old actor, who had been reported missing since September 3, was found dead after several days of intense searching. Hollcroft, best known for his work in the popular television show "Como dice el dicho" and as a student at Televisa's Centro de Educación Artística (CEA), had a promising career ahead.

Hollcroft's disappearance was first made public by his sister, Jane Hollcroft, who took to social media to express her concerns.

"I will love you forever, thank you for the years we shared together and for giving me the most magnificent moments I could have lived. You will always be in our hearts, little brother," reads Jane Hollcroft's Instagram post, where she confirmed her brother's passing.

Jane revealed that James had last been seen near his home in the Tizapán, San Ángel neighborhood, close to the Televisa studios where he studied and worked. In a heartfelt plea, she urged friends, colleagues, and the public to help locate him. The actor's disappearance quickly gained widespread attention, with members of the artistic community rallying to share the message and raise awareness.

"We are worried about his safety; he has light brown hair, is approximately 1.80 meters tall, and has hazel eyes. His family and friends are looking for him. He hasn't contacted us since that day, and that never happens. Please help us reach more people by sharing," the desperate sister wrote on social media.

Sadly, hope turned to tragedy when news broke that Hollcroft had been found dead.

CEA Televisa released a statement confirming the devastating loss. The institution highlighted Hollcroft's undeniable talent and the impact he had made during his short but promising career. His death has not only shaken the community but also left fans heartbroken, many of whom followed his journey from "Como dice el dicho" to his recent theater work in "Dime que sí​".
