Popular influencer, Carlos Medeiros found dead after he disappeared on Christmas day

Carlos Medeiros, a Brazilian influencer, was discovered dead after going missing on Christmas Day.

The 26-year-old YouTuber was last seen by family on December 25 at a fireworks show before leaving to a friend’s house for a late holiday dinner in the So Paulo city of Itapecerica do Serra.

On New Year’s Eve, his lifeless body was discovered in a shallow grave on the property.

Carlos Medeiros, a Brazilian YouTube sensation, was discovered dead in a shallow grave at his boyhood friend’s house.
The home’s owner, 28, and his wife, 24, surrendered to police on Monday and were remanded in pre-trial prison for one month, according to Brazilian news site G1.

They allegedly told the Civil Police that Medeiros, who had nearly two million YouTube subscribers, ingested cocaine and then had a heart attack.

 

Because they were afraid, the defendants claimed they buried Medeiros by the side of their house rather than contacting an ambulance.

The pair originally lied, saying Medeiros had left their home after supper, before eventually admitting to a different story.

They had also made social media posts seeking for the public’s assistance in locating Medeiros.

The influencer’s relatives and neighbours spent a week looking for Medeiros in surrounding hospitals and in the woods.

During a search of the home, a resident noticed that the dirt nearby had been shoveled and found the clothes Medeiros was last seen wearing inside the residence. Firefighters were later able to remove his body from the pit.

According to the police investigation, Medeiros’ body bore no evidence of assault.

Neighbours set fire to the house, but no arrests have been made.

According to Civil Police Chief Luis Faria, the incident is being investigated as a homicide committed by an unknown perpetrator.

Investigators will investigate into whether Medeiros was murdered or died as a result of a drug overdose, he added.

Police were looking into a claim that Medeiros had sex with his friend’s underage sister and that their father had gone to pick her up. Both are wanted for questioning.

Faria stated that they are awaiting the results of an upcoming autopsy.

‘If the report shows that his death was accidental, the couple will be charged with the crime of concealing a corpse,’ he said. ‘If it is proven that he was murdered, the man and the woman will be charged with homicide.’
