Maria clinic in the Laranjeiras neighborhood, in the south of Rio de Janeiro, after suffering three cardiac arrests due to sudden Myocardial infarction. She was 39 years old and at the peak of her career. She had been hospitalized at 1 pm and was placed in the ICU (Intensive Care Center). According to her manager, the singer was feeling bad and complaining of nausea due to overwork. The symptoms, he said, were thought to be the result of stress caused by overwork. "She had been working a lot. In seven months, she's done over a hundred shows," she said. The hypothesis of drug overdose was raised. This was initially considered as the cause of death, but was dismissed by the coroner report of the Medical Institute of Rio de Janeiro after necropsy. The coroner report stated that Eller died of a heart attack, caused by a malformation of her heart. The toxicology report found no alcohol or drug residues in her body. Histopathological exams revealed Eller had heart problems, such as mild coronary sclerosis (early onset of fat thrombi) and myocardial fibrosis (scars from other pre-existing lesions). She is buried at the Jardim da Saudade Cemetery, in the Sulacap neighborhood, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
