Pity Álvarez hospitalized following hypertensive crisis

Musician Cristian ‘Pity’ Álvarez is currently hospitalized at Hospital Tornú in Buenos Aires following a hypertensive crisis. Medical reports indicate that his blood pressure is controlled and he remains stable, though he is under strict observation and undergoing various studies. Doctors noted a pattern of cognitive impairment associated with the abrupt rise in blood pressure.

Álvarez was admitted to intermediate therapy after a minor vehicle collision at a service station on San Martín Avenue. His legal team noted that the artist had been affected by recent events, which included a significant spike in blood pressure and nosebleeds. Efforts are underway to transfer him to a clinic covered by his medical insurance.

The hospitalization occurs amidst an ongoing criminal trial regarding the 2018 death of Cristian Díaz. During recent proceedings at the Tribunal Oral en lo Criminal N°29, the singer's mother, Cristina Congiú, testified about feeling intimidated by the victim. While defense lawyers requested a suspension of the hearings due to the musician's health, the request was denied.
