A Period of Health Struggles<\/h3>\n

In the weeks leading up to his death, Carlo’s health had significantly deteriorated. He was hospitalized due to severe fluid retention<\/strong> in his legs, a clear sign of his declining health. His battle with medical issues was ongoing, as he had experienced life-threatening challenges, including a severe gastrointestinal bleed<\/strong> in February, which resulted in a loss of almost five liters of blood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tributes from NDR Leadership<\/h3>\n

The impact of Carlo’s work was recognized by many, including NDR Intendant<\/strong> Joachim Knuth.

His affable, spontaneous manner enchanted several generations and solidified his status as an enduring favorite among audiences. His death is a profound loss, and our deepest sympathies go out to his family.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his extensive career, Carlo also faced numerous medical challenges<\/strong>, including a bacterial infection<\/strong> of the heart that necessitated an eight-week hospital stay in 2024. Furthermore, he had been battling Amyloidosis<\/strong>, a rare heart condition that impairs the heart’s ability to function effectively. These health battles underscored the difficult journey he faced in his later years.<\/p>\n
