A BEAUTY queen who was once crowned Miss Brazil has died at the age of 27 after a routine tonsil operation went horribly wrong.
Gleycy Correia, from Macae, south-eastern Brazil, died on June 20 after the operation left her suffering "massive bleeding and a cardiac arrest".
Correia passed away at a private clinic after spending more than two months in a coma after the surgery in April.
Five days after the operation she is reported to have suffered haemorrhage and a heart attack.
And after spending 77 days in a coma, yesterday she sadly died.
Pastor Jak Abreu, who knows Gleycy's family, wrote on social media that her relatives believe that there was a mistake during the operation.
Her body was sent to the Forensic Medicine Institute of Macae for an autopsy.
"God chose this day to collect our princess," said Abreu.
"We know the longing will be immense. But she will now be cheering the sky with her smile.
"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."
