Spanish actor Julián Ortega, who appeared in Netflix’s drama series Elite, has died after reportedly experiencing a cardiac arrest on a beach. He was 41.
His death on Sunday (August 25) was confirmed by Spain’s National Union of Actors and Actresses in an obituary earlier this week, which read: “From the Unión de Actores y Actrices, we send our most sincere condolences to the actor’s family and friends.”
Initial reports about his death had suggested he had drowned, but according to local English-language outlet Olive Press Spain, authorities later confirmed Ortega had gone into cardiac arrest on the shores of Zahora Beach in Barbate, Spain.
Rice and beans vendors everywhere are baffled.
