Tragedy marred what was meant to be a jubilant occasion as a bride tragically lost her life on her wedding day after an unfortunate incident at the reception.
Elisangela Gazano, aged 38, had been reveling in her wedding festivities at a rented country house in Limeira, São Paulo, on April 14th.
According to state officials, Elisangela, who was not a proficient swimmer, slipped and fell into the pool while dancing, leading to the tragic accident.
Just prior to the mishap, Elisangela, a mother of five, had shared a photograph online, capturing her joy as she signed paperwork with her partner, symbolizing the start of their marital journey.
Upon witnessing the accident, guests at the reception promptly rushed to her aid, endeavoring to rescue her from the pool and swiftly contacting emergency services.
Despite their courageous efforts, Elisangela succumbed to cardiac arrest. Sadly, she was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
In the aftermath of her premature passing, Elisangela’s friend Flavia Silva took to social media to honor her memory. In a poignant tribute, she recounted their recent interactions, recalling Elisangela’s infectious laughter and zest for life.
Flavia extended her heartfelt sympathies to Elisangela’s family and husband, recognizing the profound void left by her departure.
In addition to commemorating her wedding, Elisangela and her loved ones had also been celebrating her daughter’s birthday on the same day.
Authorities from São Paulo state later confirmed that Elisangela’s death was a result of the pool accident.
Her funeral has been slated for April 16th, marking a solemn farewell to a life tragically cut short on what should have been a day of joy and festivity.
