Death
Elizangela do Amaral Vergueiro, simply known as Elizangela, died at the age of 68 in Guapimirim, Rio de Janeiro, after suffering a cardiac arrest. She was taken to the José Rabello de Mello Municipal Hospital but did not survive.
“The municipality of Guapimirim regrets the death of the famous actress. This is the second time the community health system has treated Elizangela. The first time, Elizangela was admitted to the ward with severe breathing problems, and after a few weeks she was “discharged from the unit,” emphasizes the town hall in a statement.
She has not been on television since 2019 after participating in the soap opera “A Dona do Pedaço”. In 2022, she was admitted to the same hospital with respiratory complications from Covid19. City Hall reported that she arrived at the emergency room sick and almost had to be intubated.
Elizangela, who was against the Covid19 vaccine, did not take a dose of the vaccine. Due to her refusal, she was excluded from the cast of the soap opera “Travessia” (20222023).
