The news of Ferrat’s death also shocked the fans of the series who couldn’t believe what had happened so many people shared tributes to the actor, who died at the height of his career, on social media.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

He apparently caught the parasite from eating undercooked pork. Cysticercosis is an infection caused by a parasite called Taenia solium, which can stick to the muscles without causing symptoms. But, it can also reproduce and migrate to other areas of the body.

Experts point out that, if the latter happens, the antiparasitic treatment is not the same for everyone, it depends on the affected area and not all patients react favorably. Filed Under: Sebastián Ferrat death
