This Thursday the world of entertainment and soap operas woke up with the news of the tragic death of David Ostrosky. The actor passed away at the age of 66, after a long and hard fight against cancer. The information about his death was given exclusively by the Jewish Link media outlet, to whom the interpreter had given several interviews on numerous occasions. “Mexican Jewish actor David Ostrosky passed away this Thursday after a battle with cancer. Over the years, ‘Enlace Judío’ was able to talk to him on several occasions, the last being in 2022, when he told us about his acting career in Mexico,” the digital newspaper has published.
In a matter of hours the news has traveled all over the internet. To the displays of affection on the part of the followers of the melodramas, that of Ostrosky’s colleagues is added. This is the case of actress Arlette Pacheco (Sea of Love). The National Association of Interpreters (ANDI) also wanted to make his condolences public: “Remembered for his performances in great soap operas such as ‘El vuelo del águila’ and ‘La antorcha ignited’. Goodbye David.”
His last project was ‘Vencer la ausencia’
His last work was ‘Vencer la ausencia’. Precisely, his hasty departure from this production set off alarm bells about his condition. His fictional partner, Ariadne Díaz, pointed out in October 2022 that David had to leave the soap opera for health reasons, although the type of disease he suffered from was not confirmed. Ostrosky was unable to rejoin the recordings and was replaced by Rodrigo Murray.
According to the media TVNotas, the actor began to have severe pain in one of his arms. After a review, they detected a tumor and, unable to reduce it with chemotherapy, they were forced to amputate the limb. However, that did not stop the disease from advancing, with fatal consequences.
David Ostrosky leaves an indelible legacy. With more than forty melodramas behind him, he is one of the Mexican performers with the greatest presence in this genre. Among the many projects of his, there are great successes such as “María, la del barrio”, “El derecho de nacer”, “Alborada” or “Soy tu dueña”. Today the world of soap opera is a little more orphaned
