According to her Instagram bio, the young teen had survived cancer five times. Heartbreakingly, however, her family released a statement via her social media page on September 23 to confirm that she had died.
“It is with broken hearts that we share that Zuza died yesterday morning. She lived 11 of her 14 years with a relentless cancer, yet lived more fully and gratefully than most. Her being changed us forever, and her dying will too,” her family wrote.
“It is no coincidence to us that the last video she made captures what she was grateful for—a testament to a life filled with both beauty and suffering. More than anything, she wanted to be a normal, healthy kid.
