Spanish actor José de la Torre died on December 5, 2024, at age 37, in his hometown of Montilla, Córdoba, according to contemporaneous reports. Those reports said he had been diagnosed with a serious illness months earlier, but did not identify the illness.
What was reported about his death
Europa Press reported on December 6, 2024, that de la Torre had died at 37 in Montilla, where funeral arrangements were made. It attributed the initial report to local outlet Montilla Digital. Noticias Caracol said Spain’s actors’ union confirmed his death the day after the reported December 5 date; Cadena SER also attributed that date to Montilla Digital.
Reports described a serious illness diagnosed a few months before his death. Antena 3 said he had kept the illness private. The reports cited here did not name a disease or provide medical details, so a more specific cause has not been established in this coverage.
What José de la Torre was known for
Many viewers knew de la Torre as Iván Nieto in Toy Boy. Europa Press reported that he appeared in both seasons. The series aired on Atresmedia in Spain and was also in Netflix’s catalogue; the available reporting does not establish Netflix as its producer.
#1 Best Overall
His other television credits included:
- Servir y Proteger, as Goyo, in seven episodes.
- Vis a vis: el Oasis, as Pérez, in two episodes.
- Amar es para siempre, as Roque, in 36 episodes.
Europa Press reported that he was born in 1987, studied at Málaga’s Escuela de Arte Dramático, and first appeared in a music video by Nena Daconte before moving into television roles.
What remains unconfirmed about the illness
The reports establish only that de la Torre had a serious illness diagnosed months before his death. They do not identify the condition, describe treatment, or cite a public statement from de la Torre or his family naming a diagnosis. It would be inaccurate to attach a specific disease to his death based on the reporting cited here.
