Although Ostrosky had never publicly confirmed his battle with cancer, rumors circulated about his health when he left the telenovela “Vencer” for health reasons. An alleged friend revealed that he had undergone chemotherapy treatment, with no positive outcome. It was reported that Ostrosky had his arm amputated due to a tumor that began in the humerus.
David Ostrosky, who was of Jewish descent, was survived by his wife Belinda Slomianski de Ostrosky, his children, Ariela Ostrosky de Goldstein, Pedro Ostrosky, Aaron Ostrosky, and his siblings Jacobo Ostrosky, Thelma Ostrovsky de Balas, and Diana Ostrovsky de Cohen.
Ostrosky was born and raised in Mexico City, where he built his artistic career. He initially focused on theatrical direction but became an actor due to a last-minute replacement in one of his own productions. He made his television acting debut in the mid-1980s and went on to appear in numerous telenovelas and films.
In addition to his success on television and the big screen, Ostrosky ventured into the world of television series. He appeared in shows like “Los simuladores” and “El encanto del águila”. However, he was most beloved for his role as “Dr. Salomón Cohen” in the Netflix series “La casa de las flores”.
