At the time of the first post, they stated, “She was hospitalized due to a severe infection and, as a result, has undergone the loss of most of her right leg.”
The family announced that Caliente would not be participating in the upcoming season of RuPaul’s Drag Race Philippines due to her bad health.
Caliente’s tragic demise follows the recent passing of The Vivienne, another legendary member of Drag Race.
James Lee Williams, the Vivienne, passed away in January at the age of 32. The reality TV star’s death from cardiac arrest following ketamine use was later made public.
The Vivienne participated in an all-winners season of the RuPaul franchise in the United States in 2022, in addition to the UK version of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
