“At about 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday (December 24, 2024), our beloved actress Bruna Marquezine passed away. Bruna Marquezine was born on August 4, 1995 in Rio de Janeiro. She will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (53%) of respondents think those Bruna Marquezine death rumors are not funny anymore.
