News about David Miranda

Greenwald, 56, paid a loving tribute to Miranda's death on Tuesday morning, alongside photographs of the pair together with their two sons. Miranda, a Brazilian congressman who grew up in Rio's slums, was remembered as a "new man with an extraordinary course" by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who posted his condolences to Greenwald on Twitter. 'It's with the most profound sadness that I inform the passing away of my husband, @DavidMirandaRio, that I write.' He would have turned 38 on Monday. His death occurred early this morning after a 9-month fight in ICU. He died in absolute tranquility, surrounded by our children, relatives, and acquaintances. "David's life was extraordinary in every sense.' His mother died when he was five years old, leaving him an orphanage in Jacarezinho. Dona Eliane, a beautiful and compassionate neighbor, took him in despite the fact that he had four children of her own and profound poverty as his mother, giving him a chance at life.
