 Zuzu Angel was killed in a car crash on April 14, 1976.The suddenness of her death raised suspicions of further government involvement; the case was investigated by the Comissão de Mortos e Desaparecidos Políticos (Commission on Political Deaths and Disappearances), under process number 237/96, who found many reasons to doubt the official version of events.In 2014, the involvement of agents of the military repression regime in Brazil in her death was confirmed.
