The cause of death was appendicitis cancer, which he allegedly kept quiet about even though his health was deteriorating.
He was born in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico, and began performing as a singer at the age of 7.

While there, Canto began acting in local commercials and TV shows before being scouted for his first role in 2013’s The Following.
The actor was known for his roles in X-Men: Days of Future Past, 2 Hearts, Halle Berry’s directorial debut Bruised and the Fox drama series The Following.
During filming, Canton met his wife, sculptor and painter Stephanie Lindquist, whom he married and had two children with.
He has also appeared in the Netflix drama series Narcos, the ABC/Netflix political drama Designated Survivor, and the ABC primetime series Blood & Oil.
For the past two years, Canto has starred in Fox’s The Cleaner as mobster Arman Morales.
He played the role for two seasons, but when his health continued to fail, he was unable to film the third season.
Canto hoped to return to the series next season.
The actor also directed short films in 2014 and 2020.
Many of his fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their grief.
