Netflix’s Manuel Masalva, 43, is in a induced coma following a bacterial infection. The Narcos: Mexico actor “was the victim of a very aggressive bacterium” after contracting the illness on vacation, according to his friend, Mario Morán. “My brother is fighting for his life away from home,” he said in his TikTok. “I want to ask for your support in this difficult moment.” A GoFundMe has been made for the actor who is in serious condition, raising more than $50,000 so far from over 800 donors to support his recovery and expenses. An update on Thursday thanked donors during this “difficult time” for Masalva and his family. The post also said that the star is on antibiotics as his family and friends wait for him to improve. Just two weeks ago, Masalva posted photos of himself on vacation in the Philippines, although it is unclear if that was the location he contracted the infection.
