Manuel Masalva of 'Narcos: Mexico' 'reborn' after 105 days in hospital
Mexican actor Manuel Masalva is on the road to recovery after contracting an aggressive bacterial infection in March that left him in a medically induced coma for weeks. In his first social media post since the onset of his illness, the "Narcos: Mexico" actor updated his followers on his current health status via Instagram on Monday evening. "I am healing. I want to profoundly thank you all for the support you have given me and continue to give me, in every sense, every one of you," Masalva wrote. "This [process] has barely begun, there is much more left to go, but I feel blessed, strong, reborn and well-accompanied. ... God has given me a new life." Read more: 'Narcos: Mexico' actor Manuel Masalva in medical coma after bacterial infection Masalva first felt the onset of an ailment when he arrived in Dubai in March, following a trip to the Philippines, revealing that he ended up spending 105 days in the Dubai hospital that first treated him for his prolonged illness. The actor first arrived in the Middle East city on March 18, his manager Jaime Jaramillo Espinosa told The Times in April. '[After] about two days in Dubai, Masalva began to feel internal discomfort and pain which increased by the day,' Jaramillo Espinosa said.

The following day, the infection reached his lungs and he had to be put into a medically induced coma.

"I don't know if I really understand all of what's going on or just a part of it, it's been an eternity and there are still some parts missing, I just want to the strongest thanks that I can give to God, my family, my doctors and all those people that have supported me since the start of this process. I owe you all my life," he wrote. Masalva played the role of Ramón Arellano Félix in the Netflix drama series 'Narcos: Mexico,' alongside Diego Luna, Bad Bunny and Scoot McNairy.
