According to his sister Rosa, the 53-year-old singer was treated at the Royal Hospital in Manchester, British, after he contracted the delta variant. Carlos Marín was hospitalized in ‘serious condition’ on December 8, after which he was intubated for lack of oxygen and then placed in an artificial coma. According to Rosa, the singer eventually succumbed after the virus “attacked his lungs”.

Still, Rosa, and by extension the entire family, still has a lot of questions about the situation. “I spoke to his mother on the day he passed away, and she is convinced that he could have survived if he had been in Spain,” their lawyer Alberto Martin said in Madrid. “We have to analyze that after we have seen all the medical documents. Because we think there was time to control and improve his situation so that he could make it and save his life. The family cannot find peace because they are devastated.”

Carlos will be buried on Tuesday in a public ceremony in Madrid. According to the family, all Il Divo fans can now pay their last respects at the funeral home, after the family already attended a vigil in an intimate circle. According to the British media, the other band members of Il Divo were also present during that farewell. The singer will be buried next to his father, as his last wish dictated. According to his sister Rosa, he goes to his final resting place in his favorite Armani costume. “He can now go to heaven and sing with the angels.”
