She died on Aug 19, as confirmed by her cousin Ivy in a statement released on Facebook that day.“
It is with the heaviest heart that I share the heartbreaking news of the passing of my beloved first cousin and little sister, Vanessa Blanca Quillo Rangadhol, who tragically passed away today, Aug 19, 2026, following an accident at the condominium where she was staying in Manila,” Ivy wrote.In a separate post on Aug 20, Ivy said Blanca “tripped and fell” while getting dressed in the bathroom.
She added that Blanca’s companions called for emergency assistance, but that no ambulance arrived within 15 minutes. They then decided to take her to the nearest hospital in a wheelchair as no immediate transportation was available.
"Vanessa sustained severe traumatic brain injury resulting in an internal brain haemorrhage following an accidental fall,” Ivy said. “Despite the efforts made to secure urgent medical assistance and (take) her to the hospital, Vanessa sadly passed away.
”Blanca’s fellow former Sugarpop members Julie Anne San Jose, Rita Daniela, Enzo Almario and Cholo Bismonte mourned her death, sharing her obituary and wake details via their respective Instagram pages.
“Still can’t believe it,” San Jose wrote. “Sugarpop will never be the same without you. Rest in heaven, Wani.” PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
