“The family would also like to clarify that only Jorge’s immediate family has real and accurate information regarding his condition.
“Therefore, any version, statement or information that does not come directly from the family and its official channels should not be considered valid or truthful.
“At times like these, we ask for responsibility, prudence and humanity. A person’s health and the peace of mind of their loved ones should not be the subject of speculation or irresponsible media attention.
“We sincerely appreciate the expressions of affection, respect and concern we have received, and we ask that Jorge’s privacy, confidentiality and personal space – as well as that of his entire family – be respected throughout this process.
“Any relevant updates will be communicated in due course by the family and through the appropriate channels. Thank you for your understanding.”
