Vitoria Beatriz, known for her work with Peruvian company Inka Productions, died Tuesday aged 29 after spending several days in hospital in critical condition over undisclosed health issues.
Somewhat oddly, the Brazilian performer’s death was announced in a social media post by Inka Productions, which remembered Vitoria for her “joy, warmth, and the light she transmitted.”
Vitoria Beatriz was born in São Paulo, Brazil in July 1996 and later became a prolific performer with various production companies in both Peru and her native Brazil.
As reported by British tabloid The Sun, Beatriz passed away after experiencing undisclosed medical issues and was recently in critical condition, according to a since-removed fan page on Instagram.
Her family and friends asked fans for “prayers” amid her hospital stay, days before her death, in a statement on the Instagram page:
“I want to inform you that Vitoria remains hospitalised, and we, the family, have chosen not to share details of the situation,” the statement read. “Just know that she is surrounded by care and love.”
The person behind the fan page later confirmed her death and said that the news came as a “shock,” as they had frequently spoken with her through DMs. “She told me about the challenges she faced with her physical and mental health, and how difficult it was to go through this every day,” the admin wrote in the since-deleted message. “She was a very strong person, but also very sensitive.”
On the subject of mental health, a post on X casts doubt on Inka Productions’ narrative.
Mental health issues? I don’t think so. [Inka] Productions owed her money and didn’t want to pay, and that triggered her demise. She had a contract with BangBros, and she was about to become the goose that lays the golden eggs. [T]hey [played] the mental health card to make her look crazy.
This is a developing story.
