The Mexican actress was reported dead in several international media outlets after allegedly injecting frog poison during a spiritual cleansing ritual in Durango, Mexico.
Marcela, who was not very active on social media, created an Instagram profile to clarify that she is alive and that the incident did not involve her, but another Mexican actress with a similar name: Marcela Alcazár, 33 years old, who indeed lost her life in the ritual last weekend.
However, due to the similarity of their names, several websites reported the news with photos of Alcaraz, causing great concern among her family members.
“See, I’m alive and I’m doing well. I want to clarify that I never went on a spiritual retreat, I didn’t go to Durango, I didn’t consume any poison, I’m alive and I’m doing well,” the actress began at the beginning of the video.
“I want to invite the journalists who wrote this article to properly investigate their sources. It’s not possible for this completely false news to be replicated.”
“They affected my family, my friends, many people around me without any reason, because it is absolutely false,” she also said in the video she posted on her social media earlier this week.
