His father, actor, producer and director Dani Ouro, shared the heartbreaking news.
He said: “My son Siro has gone.
“He passed away during the night, peacefully, at just 24. He had been battling a cruel, relentless illness for years, and finally, it overcame him.
“Last night, he celebrated New Year’s Eve with the grapes at his grandmother’s house before heading to his room.
“The last thing I said to him, and the last thing I heard from him, was ‘I love you.’
“Rest in peace, my boy. Wherever you are, no one can hurt you. I will love you forever.”
He died in the early hours of 1 January.
Born in Ferrol, in Spain’s Galicia region, Siro was known for his roles in film and television.
Some of his most recognised performances included his father’s 2024 film “Somos Reyes” and the 2023 family thriller series La Mesías, created, written and directed by Los Javis.
In recent years, he had also been pursuing his work as a musician and composer, as reported by Need To Know.
His agency described him as a “sensitive, restless artist, deeply committed to his craft” who never stopped working, even while battling his illness.
The nature of his illness and the exact cause of his death have not been disclosed.
His agency added: “He was an incredible soul, almost a miracle who came into our lives at just nine years old.
“These past few years have been difficult, but we tried to be there for him. We loved him dearly.”
His theatre company, La Tristura, also paid tribute, calling Ouro an “incredible being”.
Well-known figures from television and cinema have sent messages of condolence to his father.
Actress Eva Isanta wrote: “I’m so deeply sorry. Sending you a hug, Dani.”
