Carlos Fernández-Lomana, brother of Spanish TV personality and fashion columnist Carmen Lomana, died last weekend in Lieres at the production site in the municipality of Siero (Asturias) died. Several regional media outlets confirmed this on Monday. The wake was held at Tanatorio Los Arenales in Oviedo where the chapel of rest was set up. A funeral service will be held this Monday, 5 October 2026, at the Carmelite church in Oviedo; the cremated remains are then to be interred in the family columbarium.
According to consistent reports, Fernández-Lomana worked in the banking sector in Asturias, particularly in the east of the region. He lived a secluded life and avoided publicity. Nevertheless, news of his death has attracted nationwide attention because he was the brother of Carmen Lomana, a frequent guest on Spanish entertainment and lifestyle programmes.
Carmen Lomana said goodbye to her brother in Oviedo. The regional newspaper La Nueva España quoted her as saying: “My brother was very good, very loved and an exceptionally elegant gentleman.” The family thanked the many people who had sent condolences from the Celorio (Llanes) area, Oviedo and other parts of Asturias. The published obituaries and media reports gave no details about the precise circumstances of his death.
The funeral arrangements are centred on Asturias: the place of death, Lieres; the wake at Tanatorio Los Arenales in Oviedo; and the funeral service at the Carmelite church. The event is therefore primarily a regional one; wider interest stems from his connection to a prominent family member.
Media reports emphasise the family’s restrained tone and their wish for privacy. Accordingly, the information made public is limited to the funeral arrangements and Fernández-Lomana’s professional background. The media involved have avoided speculation about possible causes or medical details, or have explicitly stated that such information is unconfirmed.
The schedule in Oviedo is of public interest on Monday: the funeral service at the Carmelite church is expected to be the central moment of the farewell. No further private memorial events have been announced. The family’s circle has also indicated that condolences should preferably be sent in writing, to allow close relatives some privacy.
