How did Pele die?
Pele passed away “due to the failure of many organs, a result of the advancement of colon cancer related with his prior clinical condition,” the hospital said in a statement. The Brazilian legend had been suffering from kidney and prostate issues lately. In September 2021, the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo performed surgery to remove a colon tumor found during regular examinations. In the final days of November 2022, he was readmitted to the hospital.
Kely Nascimento, his daughter, often posted updates on social media from the hospital to inform her followers of her father’s status. On Thursday, I uploaded a photo of Pele’s family’s hands on his body in the hospital. She wrote, “We owe everything we have to you. You have our undying love. Peace be with you.”
