Anne-Marie Garnero, 16, Dies After Cardiac Arrest, With Wake Tuesday in São Paulo

The family set a Tuesday funeral in São Paulo, reflecting a journey that brought national attention to organ donation.

Overview

  • Family members confirmed that Anne-Marie died on Sunday, September 21, after a cardiac arrest, according to her uncle Shaymmon Moura.
  • She underwent a heart transplant in June 2022 for dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition that enlarges the heart and weakens its pumping ability.
  • The wake is scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday with burial at noon in São Paulo, as the family awaits the arrival of her father, Mário Bernardo Garnero, from Europe.
  • In June and July, her mother, model Schynaider Moura, publicly marked three years since the surgery, thanked the donor family and medical team, and urged organ donation.
  • Relatives and public figures shared tributes, including uncle Álvaro Garnero’s post, and presenter Fausto Silva had previously cited Anne-Marie’s case as an inspiration for his own transplant.
