Overview
- The 82‑year‑old journalist was admitted to an intensive care unit at Clínica Mater Dei after a new decompensation on Monday and is under close observation.
- Less than a month earlier he underwent a vascular intervention that placed two stents and has been under follow‑up for circulatory problems since then.
- About fifteen days before the latest admission he suffered a domestic fall that left a wound near his left eye and doctors are assessing whether that trauma is related to the current decline.
- Reports say he developed an ankle thrombosis in recent days and that at least one team performed or confirmed an additional stent as part of the urgent vascular care.
- Sources and family describe him as awake, lucid and communicating while a planned medical board and further tests will decide next steps and whether he can be discharged.
