The official cause of death for Thalía’s mother, Yolanda Miranda was determined to be heart disease. The 76-year-old suffered a fatal heart attack in the early hours of May 27 after complaining of a debilitating headache the night before.

Unfortunately, the singer’s mom—like many women—did not recognize the warning signs of a heart attack, which can also include chest pain, arm pain, shortness of breath, nausea and heartburn.

This lack of awareness is alarming, as heart disease is a growing problem in Mexico, where Miranda lived, and the number one killer of Latinas in the United States, where cardiovascular disease is to blame for a third of all deaths among Latinas.

Contributing factors include high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, cigarette smoking and physical inactivity, all of which feature prominently in our community.

Over 76 percent of Latinas in the U.S. are overweight, with 45 percent of those categorized as obese, and as an ethnic group, we have the highest risk for developing diabetes. What’s more, Latinas are likelier than Caucasians to have high blood pressure, yet less likely to have it controlled. And if that wasn’t bad enough, nearly 60 percent of Latinas are sedentary, meaning that we don’t engage in physical activity to combat these ailments.

At first glance, Thalía’s life seems charmed: The 39-year-old is an internationally beloved pop singer, telenovela queen, businesswoman and author and she’s eight months pregnant with her second child with hubby/music guru Tommy Mottola.

But in fact, the sudden death of her mother and manager, Yolanda Miranda Mange, last week of a heart attack—just weeks before Thalía is due to give birth and days before another of her daughters was set to get married—was just one of a string of tragedies that has marked the petite singer’s life:

• When Thalía was five, her scientist-criminologist father, Ernesto Sodi Pallares, died after a long illness. After a bedside visit with dad, Thalía blew him a kiss and he almost immediately died. “I always thought that it was my fault,” Thalía once said. A traumatized Thalía didn’t speak for a year.

• Thalía was once engaged to Alfredo Diaz Ordaz, son of former Mexican President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz. They split after a four-year relationship, but remained close. Thalía was on set filming the telenovela Marimar when her mom broke the news that he had died. “When she told me, I started running and sat under a tree and prayed to God for his soul,” Thalía once said.

• Thalía’s sisters, actress Laura Zapata and author Ernestina Sodi, were kidnapped in Mexico City in 2002 as they left a theater where Zapata had been performing. The family hired a team of private investigators and dealt directly with the kidnappers—who had reportedly asked for $1 million ransom—keeping the police out of the case (the Sodis reportedly thought the police may have been in league with the criminals). Zapata was released after 18 days, Sodi after 34 days.

Thalía’s mother, Yolanda Miranda had a last wish: that her remains will rest in St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue in New York.

And the reason is more than justified: It was there where the queen of the telenovelas married Tommy Mottola in 2000, sharing the happiest day of her life with her dear mother.

Procedures to fulfill this last wish of Mrs. Miranda, who died suddenly on Friday 27 May, supervise by Thalía, while being constantly monitored by her attending physicians due to her advanced state of pregnancy.

The farewell ceremony to Yolanda Miranda will be towards the end of the week, it is unknown whether the sisters of the actress and singer of the famous Marias of Mexico, travel to New York, but instead it was confirmed that the body of her mother will be cremated and its ashes will be placed in a niche in the famous cathedral.

The sisters to have a funeral in Christian religion.

The uncertainty ended over where to rest the remains of Yolanda Miranda Mange, Thalía’s mother (39 years old). The coffin was taken this morning (May 31) from Toluca Airport to New York City, where her daughters will give a Christian burial.

We learned that after the pertinent requests, at 3 am on Tuesday a plane took off to the ‘Big Apple’, where Thalia and husband Tommy Mottola expect the remains of Doña Yolanda, who died unexpectedly last Friday.

It is known that although the Sodi sisters were reconciled during the wake, opinions on the fate of the body of Mrs. Yolanda were different. Thalía wanted to bury her mother in New York, Ernestina Sodi expressed her desire to remain in Mexico because, while Laura Zapata proposed to be cremated.

We hope that Thalía soon finds the peace she will need when she give birth, in few days, her second child to her husband Tommy Mottola.
