Suylen had been in the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery for several days and was reported serious and brain dead, after suffering a stroke last Thursday, January 27.

The news of her death was confirmed by the Spanish historian Nancy Pérez, Pablo Milanés’ current wife, who sent a message to the people who were following his evolution:

“Dear family and friends, I have preferred to send you this message because I know that many will continue to ask about our dear Suylen. His heart stopped beating a few hours ago. Pablo is serene because since the diagnosis of brain death he knew the outcome and has been suffering heartbreakingly within the extraordinary strength he has. We are all unwell but together: the children, the aunt, Pablo and myself and for his health, which is fragile, we will not go to Havana for the time being. We know that everyone is with us in the hardest moment of Pablo’s life. Thank you for so much love”.

Pablo Milanés is currently in Spain, where he has been living for some years with his current wife and his youngest children.

With deep sorrow the singer’s friends have said goodbye to the 50-year-old artist who, besides being a musician, was an event organizer and producer and director of the recording studio PM Records, founded by her father.

According to some family members, after suffering the stroke, the prognosis of the doctors who attended Suylen was “reserved”, since she had irreversible damage that finally caused her death.
