The first information suggests that Itziar Castro would have died due to cardiac arrest while practicing her favorite sport, swimming.
People are awaiting the results of the autopsy to confirm these details.
The actress shared a video on Instagram with the Kallipolis Synchronized Swimming club in Barcelona shortly before her tragic death.

She suffered from an illness
Throughout her life, the interpreter faced various health problems. She herself confessed to having a chronic and degenerative disease that led her to undergo surgery.
She discovered that she suffered from lipedema, a progressive disease that mainly affects women, thanks to a comment from a follower on her social media who invited her to get checked.
Her own words reveal the fight she had to wage against this health condition.
Despite the challenges, Itziar Castro showed courage by openly sharing her experience, thus contributing to raising awareness about the importance of health and well-being.
What disease did she have?
The Quirón Salud Clinics define the disease as a pathological accumulation of fat in the lower limbs (legs, thighs, hips) and arms.
The cause lies in the proliferation and inflammation of fat cells, generating a disproportion in relation to the rest of the body.
On her social media, the actress shared the little information that existed about this disease, which she claimed had only one solution: undergoing surgery.
«Lipedema does not go away with diet or sports. It can only be removed by operating. And I’m going to have surgery. It’s not for aesthetics, it’s for health,» she pointed out in a video last 2020.
She was happy with her body
«I have always said that I am a happy fat woman. I really like my body and I would only lose weight and drink for health problems,» she pointed out through a video last 2020.
In accordance with OK Diario she herself expressed that the consequences derived from the diagnosis caused her difficulties in fulfilling her professional commitments.
«While filming an episode of Vis a vis I had to stop because my legs swelled and hurt,» the actress commented in the past.
«I had to go to the emergency room, there they told me it was an infection and they gave me antibiotics,» she recalled what she experienced in her recordings.
