Mexican actor and comedian Manuel ‘Flaco’ Ibáñez was hospitalized at Hospital ABC in Santa Fe, Mexico City, due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding, later identified as complications from two perforated gastric ulcers. 

During his treatment, his family issued an urgent request for O-negative blood donors. While initial media reports suggested his condition was delicate, his daughter, Daniela Ibáñez, clarified that the 80-year-old was stable and alert. Following endoscopic procedures to cauterize the ulcers and blood transfusions to manage hemorrhaging, Ibáñez recovered and returned to work on the series ‘Más vale sola’.
