Natalia's tragic death on General Hospital

The week on General Hospital kicked off with Daisy's christening ceremony, which brought everyone together. However, the scene turned dramatic when Natalia Ramirez showed up to talk to Sonny. He took her outside the church, where she was furious but had tears in her eyes. She confronted him about their future plans together, and he replied that he has a life here in Port Charles but has arranged everything for her in Belize.

Sonny then asked one of his men to escort Natalia to the hotel and later drop her at the airport. However, when Jason told Sonny that Natalia hadn't boarded the plane to Belize, things got intense. At the hotel, Chase arrived and saw a man leaving just before him. Inside, he found Natalia unconscious on the couch, with a side table littered with pills and alcohol. She was rushed to the ER but was pronounced dead at the hospital.

This sudden death of Natalia left Chase wondering if it was really a suicide or something else. Meanwhile, Sonny was brought to the station and questioned about his involvement in the incident.
