Felipe Pettinato hospitalised after a mental health relapse
Felipe Pettinato was admitted to a hospital after a recent relapse linked mainly to his mental health.
His sister Tamara reportedly searched for a place for him from Thursday, and he was admitted on Friday.
His family has been helping care for him, with Tamara handling much of his day-to-day support.
Pettinato has also been receiving treatment for addiction, but the circumstances of this hospital stay were not confirmed as addiction-related.
He was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended, for causing a fire that led to the death of Melchor Rodrigo.
The sentence did not require him to serve time in prison, and he is serving it under house arrest.
The recent admission comes amid ongoing emotional strain, including the effects of his court case; no further details about his treatment or discharge were given.
