Three women died at a family gathering and three others became ill after eating a cake in Brazil . Tatiana Denize Silva dos Anjos, 43, and Maida Berenice Flores da Silva, 58, died on December 23rd after consuming the dessert. Neuza Denize Silva dos Anjo, 65, was hospitalised in critical condition before dying the following day. The cake, a Brazil ian Christmas cake called Bolo de Natal, was reportedly baked by Maida and her sister, Zeli Terezinha Silva dos Anjos, 61, who is currently in hospital.
Three other family members also became unwell after eating the cake, including a 10-year-old boy. Only one person didn't eat the cake when the seven family members gathered at Zeli's home. The Civil Police are investigating the cause of the deaths and are awaiting results. Zeli, who is believed to have consumed two slices of the cake, was the first taken to hospital after becoming severely ill. She has provided information about where the ingredients were purchased. Police have also opened another investigation prompting the exhumation of the body of Zeli's husband, who died in September due to food poisoning. Once Zeli is discharged from the hospital, she will be questioned further. Neighbours of her home in Torres will also be interviewed. However, the officer leading the investigation, Marcos Vinicius Veloso, stated there are no records of inheritance disputes or fights between family members. According to Hospital Nossa Senhora dos Navegantes de Torres, Tatiana and Maida both died from cardiac arrest. Neuza's cause of death has been disclosed as 'shock after food poisoning'. Maida, Neuza and Zeli were sisters and Tatiana was Neuza's daughter
