The answer depends on which "Zuzu" is being referred to, as there are notable figures with that name:
- Zuzu Angel, the Brazilian fashion designer, died on April 14, 1976. She was killed in a car crash, which raised suspicions of government involvement related to her opposition to the Brazilian military dictatorship after her son's forced disappearance.
- Zuza Beine, a teen TikTok and Instagram influencer known for documenting her cancer journey, died recently at the age of 14 in September 2025 after battling acute myeloid leukemia for 11 years.
- Karolyn Grimes, who played the character "Zuzu Bailey" in the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life, is still alive as of the latest information (born in 1940). She experienced personal tragedies but her death has not been reported.
If you clarify which Zuzu you mean, I can provide a more specific answer.
