The best known and most widespread version of his torture and death was given by former guerrilla Alex Polari, also imprisoned there, who watched the torture of Stuart from the window of his cell. He was tied to a car and dragged around the barracks' courtyard.{{Cite web |title=Stuart Edgar Angel Jones |url=http://www.torturanuncamais-rj.org.br/MDDetalhes.asp?CodMortosDesaparecidos=330 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130119053730/http://www.torturanuncamais-rj.org.br/MDDetalhes.asp?CodMortosDesaparecidos=330 |archive-date=January 19, 2013 |access-date=February 27, 2025 |website=Tortura Nunca Mais-RJ}} José Bezerra da Silva, who served there as a military corporal between 1971 and 1979, and who was also the victim of aggression from his colleagues in uniform, after complaining about the violence practiced against the militant, confirmed Polari's version.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=August 13, 2013 |title=Ex-cabo da Aeronáutica conta que viu tortura que Stuart Angel sofreu |url=https://www.em.com.br/app/noticia/politica/2013/08/13/interna_politica,434510/ex-cabo-da-aeronautica-conta-que-viu-tortura-que-stuart-angel-sofreu.shtml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240808040915/https://www.em.com.br/app/noticia/politica/2013/08/13/interna_politica,434510/ex-cabo-da-aeronautica-conta-que-viu-tortura-que-stuart-angel-sofreu.shtml |archive-date=August 8, 2024 |access-date=February 27, 2025 |website=Estado de Minas |language=pt-BR}} At times, between the laughter, questions and jokes made by the military, he was forced to put his mouth to the vehicle's exhaust and inhale all the toxic gases it emitted. Polari also says in the letter sent to Zuzu Angel on Mother's Day, in which she notified her of her son's whereabouts, that after being untied, the militant was left abandoned on the ground, his body already badly flayed, where he continued to cry out for water through the night. In possession of it, the stylist denounced the murder of Stuart - who had both Brazilian and American citizenship - to Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy, who took the case to the United States Congress.{{Cite web |title=Coleção: Fonte de pesquisa |url=https://www.zuzuangel.com.br/busca?collectionid=246 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241211184205/https://www.zuzuangel.com.br/busca?collectionid=246 |archive-date=December 11, 2024 |access-date=February 27, 2025 |website=Zuzu Angel}}{{Cite web |last=Alonso |first=Altamiro |date=September 10, 2019 |title=Estado reconhece assassinato de Zuzu e Stuart Angel - Fundação Perseu Abramo |url=https://fpabramo.org.br/2019/09/10/estado-reconhece-assassinato-de-zuzu-e-stuart-angel/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101075750/https://fpabramo.org.br/2019/09/10/estado-reconhece-assassinato-de-zuzu-e-stuart-angel/ |archive-date=November 1, 2020 |access-date=February 27, 2025 |website=Fundação Perseu Abramo |language=pt-BR}}

The book Desaparecidos Políticos, by Reinaldo Cabral and Ronaldo Lapa, points to two versions of the disappearance of the guerrilla's body: “The first is that he was transported by a Navy helicopter to a military area located in Restinga da Marambaia, in Barra de Guaratiba, near the (then) rural area of Rio, and thrown into the open sea by the same helicopter.{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BKVAAAAAYAAJ |title=Desaparecidos políticos: prisões, seqüestros, assassinatos : artigos, entrevistas, documentos, reportagens, depoimentos, fotografias |date=1979 |publisher=Edições Opção : Comitê Brasileiro pela Anistia-RJ |language=pt-BR}} But, according to other information, Stuart's body was buried as an indigent, with his name changed, in a cemetery in a suburb of Rio, probably Inhaúma. Those responsible, according to them, were "Brigadiers {{ill|João Paulo Burnier|lt=Burnier|pt|João Paulo Burnier|}} and Carlos Afonso Dellamora, the former head of the Air Zone and the latter commander of CISA; Lieutenant-Colonel Abílio Alcântara, Lieutenant-Colonel Muniz, Captain Lúcio Barroso and Major Pena – all from the same organization; Captain Alfredo Poeck – from {{ill|Navy Intelligence Center|lt=Navy Intelligence Center|pt|Centro de Inteligência da Marinha|}} (CENIMAR); Mário Borges and Jair Gonçalves da Mota - agents from Department of Political and Social Order (DOPS)".

In 2013, a new name was discovered, joining the others mentioned after cross-checking data with survivors' testimonies: that of Sergeant Abílio Correa de Souza, code-named “Pascoal”, the real identity of the Air Force petty officer at the time only identified as Petty Officer “Abílio Alcântara”, a military officer trained in combat intelligence and counter-espionage at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation at Fort Gulick in Panama.{{Cite web |last= |date=September 22, 2013 |title=Identidade do torturador de Stuart Angel é revelada 42 anos depois |url=https://www.terra.com.br/noticias/brasil/identidade-do-torturador-de-stuart-angel-e-revelada-42-anos-depois,7a0fa2b659541410VgnVCM5000009ccceb0aRCRD.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240715153449/https://www.terra.com.br/noticias/brasil/identidade-do-torturador-de-stuart-angel-e-revelada-42-anos-depois,7a0fa2b659541410VgnVCM5000009ccceb0aRCRD.html |archive-date=July 15, 2024 |access-date=February 27, 2025 |website=Terra |language=pt-BR}} Abílio was to be Stuart's main torturer and the last person to see him alive in his cell.{{Cite web |last1=Dal Piva |first1=Juliana |last2=Otavio |first2=Chico |date=September 22, 2013 |title=Stuart Angel: verdadeiro nome do principal torturador é descoberto |url=https://oglobo.globo.com/politica/stuart-angel-verdadeiro-nome-do-principal-torturador-descoberto-10084684 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240706234632/https://oglobo.globo.com/politica/stuart-angel-verdadeiro-nome-do-principal-torturador-descoberto-10084684 |archive-date=July 6, 2024 |access-date=February 27, 2025 |website=O Globo |language=pt-BR}}

Stuart, according to witness statements, was the only prisoner killed by the Air Force on that occasion, among several other imprisoned guerrillas. His death led to the transfer of all the prisoners from the CISA cells to other places. At the end of that year, the entire leadership of the Air Force was replaced, due to the pressure caused by the incessant search for and denunciations of Stuart's disappearance by his mother, Zuzu Angel, using the press in Brazil and abroad.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=June 5, 2024 |title=Zuzu Angel: a voz que ecoa por uma liberdade ainda ameaçada |url=https://blogfca.pucminas.br/colab/zuzu-angel-a-voz-que-ecoa-por-uma-liberdade-ainda-ameacada/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240606125917/https://blogfca.pucminas.br/colab/zuzu-angel-a-voz-que-ecoa-por-uma-liberdade-ainda-ameacada/ |archive-date=June 6, 2024 |access-date=February 27, 2025 |website=Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais |language=pt-BR}} He was acquitted by the Aeronautics Court, ratified in 1973 by the Supreme Military Court (STM), of the charge of contravention of the National Security Act.{{Cite web |date=April 8, 2013 |title=Wikileaks: documento relata assassinato de Stuart Angel |url=https://memoria.ebc.com.br/cidadania/2013/04/wikileaks-documento-fala-sobre-assassinato-de-stuart-angel |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221205210534/https://memoria.ebc.com.br/cidadania/2013/04/wikileaks-documento-fala-sobre-assassinato-de-stuart-angel |archive-date=December 5, 2022 |access-date=February 27, 2025 |website=Empresa Brasil de Comunicação |language=pt-br}}

For the next few years, Stuart's mother, Zuzu, went on a pilgrimage to the military authorities, trying to get explanations and information about her son's body, which was officially reported missing. Her campaign reached the world of fashion, where she featured prominently, showing collections of clothes printed with red spots, caged birds and war motifs. The angel, wounded and gagged in her prints, also became the symbol of her son. Zuzu even held a protest parade in New York City, at the Brazilian consulate in the city.{{Cite web |date=June 11, 2006 |title=Ilustrada - Saiba mais sobre a estilista Zuzu Angel |url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/ilustrada/ult90u62292.shtml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240713125512/https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/ilustrada/ult90u62292.shtml |archive-date=July 13, 2024 |access-date=February 2, 2025 |website=Folha de S.

Another document, “Informação nº. 4.057”, discovered in the archives of the SNI in São Paulo, lists his name alongside 89 other guerrillas killed during the period, with the date of September 16, 1971, two days after his disappearance. The document is also classified as confidential.
