Cuban actor Jorge Losada is alive and in the process of recovery, as confirmed on Wednesday by the Caricatos Agency and people close to him, following the spread of a false rumor about his death that went viral on social media.
From the Facebook profile of Actuar Cuba Artes Escénicas, the information was categorically denied and a request was made to stop the "rumor," due to the harm it causes both to the artist and to those who care for them.
The agency expressed regret that this type of publication disrupts Losada's peace and sows unnecessary anxiety.
The art director of ICAIC, Luis Lacosta, also joined in the denials on Facebook and has been one of the people who has been helping and informing about his health status.
“Jorge Losada is alive and recovering,” he wrote in a post, where he criticized those who spread misinformation without verifying.
Another voice that was raised on Facebook was that of Alexander, identified on social media as a lodging manager, who claimed to have spoken directly with the actor over the phone.
"You're still going to keep causing trouble, because Losada is here for the long haul," he told her, sharing his message as a call to stop the rumors and to act with humanity.
What is certain is that Losada has been undergoing a delicate health process in recent weeks, marked by various shortcomings despite being a recognized artist, but his progress has been stable, according to previous reports.
The situation prompted support campaigns, including urgent calls for blood donations and financial assistance, as well as spontaneous solidarity initiatives to send food and money, which once again highlights the high degree of deterioration in hospitals and the economic crisis faced by the population.
In this regard, the former Cuban boxer Lino Tomasén, popularly known as Iron Man, recently made an emotional gesture of solidarity by visiting the renowned actor and providing him with food and money, while also fervently urging the Cuban community to support the artist.
In this context, cultural institutions and individuals close to the actor are appealing to the responsibility of social media users, inviting them to share verified information and to refrain from amplifying false content that could worsen the current situation.
