Carlos Marin. 53 years old and fully vaccinated.
Was admitted to an ICU in Manchester and died a short time later.

Very sad news, they were my mum’s favourites.

A bit scary that he was fully vaxxed and still ended up in ICU then died.

RIP.

Terribly sad and this has happened to 170,000 families in the UK, 5 million worldwide during this pandemic. Its a staggering amount of grief. RIP.

It's the top story in the mail online,

Oh no! So sorry to hear this.

May he rest in peace.

Bobholll · 19/12/2021 20:48

I’ve just read the DM article (forgive my sins for giving them a click).. it doesn’t mention he was vaxxed at all?

Bobholll · 19/12/2021 20:51

None of the articles mention his vax status.. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Larchneedles · 19/12/2021 20:52

And the cause of death has not been confirmed.

It's right at the start of the article. Confused

It's really sad news. Sad

I just read he was vaccinated in one of the articles. God that’s so sad.

ohfourfoxache · 19/12/2021 20:54

53? Seriously, 53?

That’s devastatingly young Sad

Poor man, poor family Sad

Are there different versions of the article? The one I can see says he was vaccinated in the 2nd sentence

It all seems to have happened in a very short space of time, terribly sad.

Papertrail392 · 19/12/2021 20:56

12 days from testing positive. It's just awful.

Staffy1 · 19/12/2021 20:56

There was on article in the daily mail on the 16th about him being out into an induced coma because of covid.

PartyPrawnRingGames · 19/12/2021 20:56

Even though he was in his 50s he certainly looked fit and healthy and no mention of any conditions that might make him more vulnerable. Very sad he died so young.

“He has told us that he began to feel unwell on December 7 and found out he had Covid after taking a test.

“Every day the singer himself had been telling him how he felt and the last time they spoke Carlos told him he felt worse.

“Yesterday the singer wasn’t answering his messages and he’s now in intensive care and intubated.

“The agent has also told us Carlos was vaccinated against Covid in Mexico.

vera99 · 19/12/2021 21:04

Very sad, so vaccinated - seemingly very healthy and with the best and most up to date medical support and still he died.

OhLittleBoreOfWhabylon · 19/12/2021 21:06

How very sad. He had a marvellous voice.

RIP Carlos.

Bluntness100 · 19/12/2021 21:12

It’s very unusual for a healthy vaccinated person of this age to die from Covid and so quickly. This is really sad but I suspect there is more to it than the media is currently aware.

The more reputable sources, bbc, sky etc are saying the nature of his illness and cause of death have not been revealed.

bumblenbean · 19/12/2021 21:14

Very sad. A lovely colleague of a similar age (early 50s) died in august despite being double jabbed. He did suffer from a health condition but was generally very fit and well. Was devastating for the whole company, obviously a hundred time worse for his poor family

Seemslikeagoodidea · 19/12/2021 21:21

So sad to hear that, what a shock it must have been for his family and friends, as he seemed so healthy.

Like a PP mentioned above, there are millions around the world who have also lost loved ones to Covid, this pandemic has taken a real toll on people all over the world.

Incredibly sad. I was only just listening to their version of Ave Maria a few days ago.

His wife tweeted he died of a heart attack

No, that's a different person. The deputy Asia editor of NY Times, not Carlos from Il Divo.
