**Viral News Snippet:**
**CLAIM:** A video circulating on social media claims that veteran actor-producer **Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo** has been hospitalized in critical condition after suffering a severe allergic reaction to a homeopathic treatment for his pulmonary fibrosis.
**STATUS: FALSE**
**The Facts:**
Fact-checkers have traced the footage to a scene from the 2010 Mexican sitcom *"La Familia P. Luche,"* where Ortiz de Pinedo played the character "Federico." The audio has been overdubbed with a fake medical report. As of today, Ortiz de Pinedo’s representative confirmed he is alive and resting at home, continuing his ongoing treatment for chronic lung disease. He has not been hospitalized.
**Why This Matters:** This is the latest in a series of death hoaxes targeting the actor. The fake video includes a fake news logo and prompts viewers to share an “urgent prayer chain,” a known tactic for driving engagement. Always check official sources from Televisa or his verified social media before sharing.
