Pele was admitted to the hospital on 29th November with advanced complications from his colon cancer. The medical board immediately stepped up to take utmost care of the legend who is also suffering from kidney and cardiac problems. With a month spent at the hospital, there apparently wasn’t any improvement in Pele’s health.
Sao Paulo’s Albert Einstein hospital, where Pele was undergoing treatment, said he died at 3:27 p.m. “due to multiple organ failures resulting from the progression of colon cancer associated with his previous medical condition.”
Pelé family statement.
“Inspiration, love marked the journey of King Pelé, who peacefully passed away today. Love, love and love, forever”.

Arguably the greatest Footballer of all time, Pele has breathed his last today. The 82-year-old was admitted to a hospital in Sau Paulo at end of November when his health took a dip. The three-time World Cup winner continues to receive medical treatment and has been given Palliative care. Pele’s daughter took to social media to post a picture of her family saying they have to look for each other.
Pele had been undergoing chemotherapy since he had a tumor removed from his colon in September 2021.
He also had difficulty walking unaided since an unsuccessful hip operation in 2012. In February 2020, on the eve of the coronavirus pandemic, his son Edinho said Pele’s ailing physical state had left him depressed.
Pele, whose given name was Edson Arantes do Nascimento, joined Santos in 1956 and turned the small coastal club into one of the most famous names in football.

In addition to a host of regional and national titles, he won two Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent of the Champions League, and two Intercontinental Cups, the annual tournament held between the best teams in Europe and South America.
He took home three World Cup winner’s medals, the first time as a 17-year-old in Sweden in 1958, the second in Chile four years later – even though he missed most of the tournament through injury – and the third in Mexico in 1970, when he led what is considered to be one of the greatest sides ever to play the game.
He retired from Santos in 1974 but a year later made a surprise comeback by signing a lucrative deal to join the New York Cosmos in the then nascent North American Soccer League.
