WHAT DID CARLOS MARÍN DIE OF?

Carlos Marín remained since December 8, 2021 in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Manchester Royal Hospital in the United Kingdom where he was intubated and in an induced coma after having tested positive for coronavirus and presenting symptoms.

“Our dear friend and colleague, Carlos, is in the hospital. We hope and pray for a speedy recovery”, was the tweet that the British band wrote at the time.

However, he could not win the battle and died on December 19. Days before his death, Marín's agent said: “His ex-wife Geraldine Larrosa is with him in the hospital because even though they separated 12 years ago they are still great friends.” Let's remember that Marín had a 17-year relationship with singer Geraldine Larrosa until they divorced in February 2009 in a mutual and amicable way.

Through their official social network, the group communicated the sad news, leaving their fans heartbroken. “It is with great regret that we let you know that our friend and partner Carlos Marín has passed away. His friends, family and fans will miss him. There will never be another voice or spirit like Carlos, “points out the tweet that the opera group reported.
