Gustavo Angarita spoke a few months ago about his state of health
The actor was admitted to the Colombia Clinic in Bogotá on April 24 of this year to a clinic for a routine medical examination.
“I didn’t know; I don’t even know what it is. I’m educating myself, I’m finding out what it is. It seems to me to be a very distinguished illness, but what’s to blame?” he said in an interview mid-this year with a media outlet. “I feel really bad; I felt better before. We are very fragile and from now on it could be worse,” he said.
During his visit to the medical center, it was concluded that the actor was suffering from a deficiency of nutrients such as calcium and magnesium, which posed a risk to his heart.
The actor had partial loss of consciousness, discomfort in one leg and difficulty walking, which further complicated his state of health, in addition to the cancer which had reached the metastasis stage.
