Correia first began working at the age of 8, getting a job as a manicurist at a neighborhood beauty salon.

A beauty queen, blogger, business woman and Miss Brazil has died at 27 after suffering a brain hemorrhage and a heart attack following a routine operation to have her tonsils removed.

Gleycy Correia was crowned Miss United Continents Brazil in 2018. She passed away Monday at a hospital in the Brazilian city of Macaé after being on coma since April 4. A simple medical procedure was made about two month ago.

Her body has been sent to a local medical examiner for an autopsy.

“She had surgery to remove her tonsils [in late March] and after five days at home, she had a hemorrhage,” Correia’s family priest, Lidiane Alves Oliveira, told the Mirror. “She went to [the local hospital] Unimed and had a cardiac arrest on April 4,” he continued.
