Little Ksana died from osteosarcomabut the foundation of the Luis Enrique family does not ignore any serious pathology. He commented on this and much more in this very complex episode of the Movistar documentary. No one should have to go through this mourning, but at least making it public in this way serves to publicize both his foundation and the illness his daughter suffered.
