The family of a woman who tragically passed away in a scalding bathtub with her boyfriend in Brazil has expressed concerns over the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death.
Ana Carolina Silva, 41, a nail salon owner, and military officer Jeferson Luiz Sagaz, 37, were discovered deceased in a motel room in Sao Jose on August 11. The couple had spent the day celebrating their daughter’s birthday before checking into the Dallas Motel after a night of partying.
Concern arose when the couple failed to pick up their daughter the next day, leading to a distressing discovery by the police. The pair were found lifeless in the bathtub of their room with no apparent injuries, where the water temperature had risen to 50C.
A toxicology report revealed the presence of cocaine and high blood alcohol levels in both individuals, suggesting they may have lost consciousness due to the combination of substances and extreme heat. The Chief Medical Examiner attributed their deaths to exogenous poisoning, resulting in heatstroke and organ failure.
Despite the investigative findings ruling out other causes of death, Ana’s family suspects foul play and insists that she was not a drug user. They demand a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind the tragic incident.
Authorities emphasized that the couple did not have a history of drug use, indicating that their physical conditions may not have been suitable for such substances, especially when combined with alcohol. The couple, known as devoted parents and sociable individuals, had been in a long-term relationship and left behind their daughter, now under the care of relatives following the heartbreaking turn of events.
