Toto Schillaci's Hospitalization and Family Statement

The former football star, Toto Schillaci, aged 59, is admitted to Civico Hospital in Palermo. He has been fighting colon cancer for some time now. False reports of his death circulated earlier today, which led his family to take action and confirm via Instagram that:

Our beloved Toto is in stable condition, being monitored by doctors day and night.

This message was posted around 5 PM today, September 8, to quash the media frenzy regarding the ex-footballer’s supposed death.

Support from Fans and Colleagues

• Toto Schillaci, a star during World Cup 1990, remains under medical care.
• The family sent words of hope, stating Forza Toto with a red heart emoji.

Despite his critical condition, Toto's family reassured his many fans in the football world and beyond that he is still with us and holding on. Reports about his supposed death began around 3 PM, causing a surge of calls to his family, as they sought clarity on his situation.

Fight Against Cancer

Toto Schillaci previously underwent two surgeries for colon cancer, which he thought he had overcome. Unfortunately, the illness returned aggressively, necessitating his hospitalization. After his time as a footballer, Toto participated in two reality shows: in 2004, he was a contestant on Isola dei famosi, and last year, he appeared on Pechino Express with his wife, Barbara.

During these shows, he noted they provided a vital reprisal against the illness that caused much suffering in his life.
