At the age of 52, the star of Spain’s trans popular series ‘Veneno’ has died.

MADRID (AFP) – Isabel Torres, a Spanish actress who played in “Veneno,” a blockbuster HBO series about a famous transgender singer who drew international notice, died on Friday. She was 52 years old at the time.

“We said our goodbyes to Isabel. Although we, her family and friends, are heartbroken by her passing, we know that she will be having fun in a way that only she can “According to a statement she posted on her official Instagram profile.

“Thank you so much for your kindness and care. She felt very loved and cared for when she left.”

Torres, who was born in the Canary Islands, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2018 and bid farewell to her followers in a video broadcast on social media in November, confirming that doctors had given her two months to live.

“I’ll get back to you if I make it through this. And even if I don’t, it’s been a pleasure to get to know you, to spend time with you, and to share the wonderful experience that is life “‘At the moment,’ she answered.

Torres played in various parts, but it was her presence in the eight-part “Veneno” that took her to a worldwide audience. Torres was the first transgender woman in the Canary Islands to alter her gender on her identity card.

Cristina Ortiz, also known as “La Veneno,” a star who made Spain’s transgender population more public and died in 2016 from a brain injury acquired while using alcohol and drugs, was one of three women who played Cristina Ortiz in the film. She, too, was 52 years old.

“Veneno,” which premiered in Spain in October 2020, was promptly picked up by HBO.
