‘Narcos: Mexico’ Actor Manuel Masalva In Medically Induced Coma After Being Infected With “Very Aggressive Bacteria”


Narcos: Mexico actor Manuel Masalva is in critical, stable condition after being placed in a medically induced coma due to an aggressive bacteria.

In late March, Masalva underwent emergency surgery after doctors uncovered the bacterial infection, which had then reached his lungs. Fellow Mexican performer and close friend Mario Morán posted a video on Instagram prior to the weekend asking for donations to the family’s GoFundMe, given the international costs associated with Masalva’s hospitalization outside of his home country. Last year, Deadline exclusively announced he would appear in Netflix’s forthcoming series The Gringo Hunters, currently in post-production in Mexico City.
