The 43-year-old star remains in a medically induced coma at a hospital in Dubai and is in critical but stable condition after he contracted a “very aggressive virus” while travelling in the Philippines, according to Masalva’s friends and manager.

Jamie Jaramillo Espinosa, the CEO of Mexican management agency JIM Management and Masalva’s manager, told the Los Angeles Times that the actor began “to feel internal discomfort and pain which increased by the day” about two days after he arrived in Dubai on March 18 after spending time in the Philippines. Doctors soon discovered that Masalva had contracted a bacterial infection, and the actor underwent emergency surgery on March 26. The following day, the infection reached Masalva’s lungs, and he was placed in a medically induced coma.
