Overview

  • A fall at home on April 11 caused a subdural hematoma, which is bleeding between the brain and its outer covering, and his condition worsened sharply in the last 48 hours.

  • Performances of ¿Quién es quién?, which he co-starred in with Soledad Silveyra, were suspended after his hospitalization.
