Source-derived summary

Angélico Vieira (1 January 1983 – 28 June 2011), whose full name was Sandro Milton Vieira Angélico, was a Portuguese actor and singer. He was a member of the Portuguese boy band D'ZRT.

Angélico was born in the 5th minute of 1 January 1983, in the Maternidade Alfredo da Costa. Since the maternity supported the first baby of the year with benefits, the mother of Angélico registered him as if he was born on 31 December 1982, for a girl who was born soon after to drug addicts to receive support from the hospital.

Vieira began his career when he was cast as the character, David, in the Portuguese soap opera, Morangos com Açúcar. Simultaneously, he joined the boy band D'ZRT, which achieved national attention. Vieira appeared in several other television roles, including soap operas, during his career.

In the early morning hours of 25 June 2011, Vieira was driving from northern Portugal to Lisbon for the release of his new solo album. Vieira was driving his friend’s BMW 6-series over 150 miles per hour in the southbound lanes of the A1 motorway near the Estarreja exit when his left, front tyre burst at approximately 3:15 am, causing a one-car crash. Vieira, who suffered severe head and brain injuries in the accident, was taken to Santo António Hospital in Porto, Portugal where he underwent surgery. He died from his injuries on 28 June 2011 at the age of 28.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Angélico Vieira” as portuguese actor and singer of Angolan parentage (1982–2011). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1983, 2011, 1982—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1982-12-31. The account is most persuasive where Angélico, Vieira and Portuguese can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as portuguese actor and singer of Angolan parentage (1982–2011). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1886649. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1983, 2011 and 1982.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
