Salinas reportedly suffered a stroke last month that left her in a coma at a clinic in Mexico City, according to KNBC.
The actress was reportedly in the middle of filming a telenovela named “Mi Fortuna es Amarte (My Fortune is to Love You),” where she portrayed the character “Doña Margarita Dominguez.”
Salinas is best known as a protagonist of over a hundred melodramas and films, such as “Under the Same Moon” with Kate Del Castillo and “Man on Fire” with Denzel Washington.
“We would like to thank all of her fans for their messages of support towards our family, as well as expressions of affection and prayers,” the family wrote on Twitter on behalf of Salinas.
Details on funeral services will be announced by the family at a later date, KNBC reported.
