Ten years have passed since the unexpected death of the star of popular telenovelas like María Mercedes and Mi Querida Isabel.

Now we have more details surrounding the mystery of how Karla Álvarez really died.

Finally, the true cause of Mexican actress Karla Álvarez’s death has finally been revealed.

Here are all the details of her final moments.

Karla Álvarez was one of the best-known soap opera villains

Karla Álvarez became one of the most popular soap opera actresses in Mexico. Most of the roles that the young actress played were villains.

Despite this, Karla was beloved by her fans and enjoyed great fame.

She also had a very close friendship with actresses Violeta Isfel and Jacqueline Bracamontes.

However, the actress’ death was quite murky and mysterious because, first of all, when her sudden death was announced, no explanation about what happened was given.

Did she have an autopsy?

The Mexican actress died on November 15, 2013 at the age of 41.

According to Milenio, Álvarez was found unresponsive in her home by a domestic worker who immediately called an ambulance.

Tragically, there was nothing they could do to revive her. People began to wonder what had happened to the soap opera villain.

Karla Álvarez did not have an autopsy because, according to reports, she was cremated without any kind of forensic exam which simply raised more questions.

Theories surrounding Karla Álvarez’s death

One theory about her death was that she had suffered cardiac arrest.

Others speculated that she died because of the eating disorders — anorexia and bulimia — that she supposedly suffered from.

Another rumor is that the actress choked on something she was eating.

None of these theories was verified until years later when Univision, who exclusively had access to the actress’s death certificate, revealed what really happened to her.

The true cause of Karla Álvarez’s death

Four years after her death, Univision got access to the actress’ death certificate, where the true cause of her death was revealed.

It said that Álvarez died of acute respiratory failure related to viral pneumonia.

Also, Univision revealed that the Mexican actress had been sick for several days, with symptoms such as fever and cough.

On the day Karla died she having some quesadillas for breakfast and the  Heridas de Amor actress had a coughing fit that ended her life.
