Angela had been diagnosed with cancer in her femur and was scheduled to have her leg amputated on Aug. 28, the outlet reported. She was undergoing chemotherapy and had been diagnosed as terminally ill.
Miriam Casanova, a relative of the family, told the outlet she had been wanting to check in on the family, but the last phone call had been hard.
