Gonzalo Garcia-Pelayo is still regularly posting on his Instagram (@gongarpel), mostly things not related to his movies. So he's not dead or very ill ...
He posted this 3 weeks ago (Google translated):
"All the films that had technical problems on our website, cinepelayo.com, have been restored. They are also still showing on YouTube (the X-rated ones are only available on the website) with the advantage of automatic subtitles in all languages (Bulgarian, for example?). The last two are already getting significantly more views than we expected: "Women of Tandil 1 (Girls 3)" is averaging slightly over a thousand views per month (see photo), and the other, almost the same, has reached two thousand in its two months on the website. They will soon be record-breaking (a modest one) if this trend continues."
Now the Cine Pelayo Youtube account has been closed, so all the general audience movies are no longer hosted.
