Overview

• Lucas Borbas confirmed the death with a public tribute, saying his wife had passed away on Saturday.
• Hospital Erasto Gaertner said she died from complications related to a bone marrow transplant performed last year and described the procedure as high risk even under strict protocols.
• Her father, Joelson Veloso, alleged negligence in hematology oversight during her ICU stay, an accusation the hospital publicly rejected while asserting continuous, multiprofessional care.
