An extreme allergic reaction
This is an extremely violent allergic reaction that can be caused by food, bee, wasp and hornet stings, or even medications. In the actor’s case, the allergic reaction was caused by a medication, “a contrast product used during a medical examination”, specifies BFMTV.
The allergy manifested itself as angioedema, a rapid swelling of the skin and mucous membranes of the head and neck. Emergency services, alerted by a doctor, found the actor in cardiac arrest. Michel Blanc then died around 11 p.m. in hospital.
“Everything was fine”
“Everything was fine, we saw each other not long ago for the cover of Paris Match, we laughed like idiots, as usual…” shared his friend Gérard Jugnot who expressed his sadness on the social network Instagram with a scathing “Fuck Michel… What have you done to us…”
