Brazilian Beauty Queen Dead After Routine Medical Operation

A Brazilian beauty queen has tragically passed away.

Gleycy Correia, who was crowned Miss United Continents Brazil in 2018, suddenly passed away at the age of 27.

Correia died Monday, June 20, at a hospital in the Brazilian city of Macaé.

Correia suffered a brain hemorrhage and a heart attack following a routine operation to have her tonsils removed. The tonsil surgery took place two months ago. Her body was sent to a local medical examiner for an autopsy.

The beauty queen’s family priest, Lidiane Alves Oliveira, spoke to The Mirror and said, “She had surgery to remove her tonsils [in late March] and after five days at home, she had a hemorrhage.”

Sadly, her condition worsened.

“She went to [the local hospital] Unimed and had a cardiac arrest on April 4,” he continued. “Since then she was in a coma, with no neurological activity, and today she passed away.”

A pastor close to her family took to social media to issue a statement.

Pastor Jak Abreu believes there was medical malpractice during the operation.

“God chose this day to collect our princess. We know that she will be greatly missed, but she will now be brightening the sky with her smile,” Abreu wrote. "To everyone who prayed, thank you very much. May the Lord reward every prayer of love and all these days together. She fulfilled her purpose and left her legacy of love in us. We ask for your prayers for the family and friends that the Holy Spirit may bring comfort in this difficult time."

A wake for Correia was held on Monday evening and her funeral is taking place on Tuesday, June 21st.

A well-known American artist recently underwent tonsil surgery.

Doja Cat has gone under the knife to save her singing career.

Last week, the “Say So” singer shared pictures of herself in a hospital gown laid up in a hospital bed.

She confirmed to fans that she underwent surgery to remove an abscess from her throat which was causing extreme pain.

Last month, the award-winning singer shared devastating news with fans. She announced she would have to put a stop to all of her upcoming shows, festival appearances and The Weeknd’s tour due to tonsil surgery.

We reported on Doja opening up to fans about her vaping addiction and warning that it might result in her staying away from music for a while.

In a social media update, the “Juicy” songstress broke the news that she would be going on a performance hiatus.

Doja wrote in the statement shared, “Hi guys. I wanted you to hear it from me first. Unfortunately, I have to have surgery on my tonsils asap. The surgery is routine but the recovery is going to take a while due to swelling. That means I have to cancel my festival run this summer as well as The Weeknd tour.”

On Thursday, June 16, Doja shared an update on her recovery status on social media.

Doja posted a video of herself quietly rapping Nicki Minaj’s verse from Trey Songz’s song, “Bottoms Up.”

While it was a very tame and whispered version of the song, this was just the update fans needed on their girl Doja.

In another tweet, one fan asked, “are you abo up to get the surgery now or?” to which she replied, “did it already.”

Doja also shared several selfies of herself in a hospital gown with an IV in her hand.
