As of Wednesday (6 August), neither the authorities nor local media have confirmed the cause of death or released the boyfriend’s identity.
However, at least one local outlet has reported that Angely was “murdered”.
Social media users have been sharing what they believe happened.
Gabriela wrote: “She was killed by the man she lived with, who made it look like she’d taken her own life.”
Another user, Yaritza, claimed Angely actually lived with her parents but offered a similar version of events.
She said, “She was a model and apparently had offers to work abroad.
“She went to visit her boyfriend, and while she was there, something happened – maybe out of jealousy, no one really knows.
“Her parents started to worry when she didn’t come home – she had a set time to be back – so they went looking for her.
“When they got to the boyfriend’s place, she was dead.
“He claimed she’d taken her own life.”
Angely had just graduated with a diploma in telematics from her high school, as reported by Need To Know.
News of the grim discovery was reported by Venezuelan media on Tuesday (5 Aug), although the tragedy is believed to have happened several days prior.
One mourner, Yajaira, posted: “She graduated on Thursday, and on Friday, her boyfriend ended her life.
“Sending all my strength to her parents – I’m holding them in my heart and praying God helps them through this nightmare.”
Angely lived in Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela, and was a “model in training” with Elite Models.
She was also an official candidate for the Reina del Cacao Bolívar beauty pageant, representing Angel Falls.
