Tragedy on the Birthday

According to The Sun: A little girl was left an orphan after her parents died in a hot bathtub at a hotel during the celebration of her fourth birthday.

37-year-old military policeman Jefferson Luis Sagas and his 41-year-old partner Ana Carolina Silva, a manicure salon owner, were found dead in a hotel room in Brazil.

Circumstances of the Tragedy

The couple celebrated their daughter's birthday in the park's dining room and then went to a nightclub. They checked into the

“Dallas Motel”
in São José, Santa Catarina, around midnight on August 11. In the morning, they did not return to pick up their child from Jefferson's sister's house.

Relatives, worried about their absence, filed a missing persons report, and the police found the couple lifeless in the bathtub. Preliminary information suggests they lost consciousness in a 50°C water bathtub with a heater running.

Toxicological tests revealed a high level of alcohol and traces of cocaine. The police conducted 16 forensic examinations, excluding the possibility of electric shock, drowning, carbon monoxide poisoning, and homicide.

The chief forensic expert Andressa Bor Fronza noted: “The cause of both deaths was external poisoning, which contributed to heat stroke with severe dehydration, thermal collapse, leading to organ failure and death.”
Police chief Felipe Siman Gomes added: “These circumstances, along with the substances found in their bodies, led the police to conclude that the cause of death was sudden and not caused by third parties.”

Tragedy for the Child

Friends described the couple, who had been together for almost 20 years, as friendly and caring parents. The police noted that there were no reports of violence.

Ana Carolina's family denied claims that she was a regular drug user and expressed concerns that she may have been coerced into taking cocaine. The police chief added: “It is possible that the physical constitution of both of them was not compatible with the use of such substances, especially in combination with alcohol.”

At this time, their four-year-old daughter is under the care of relatives after the tragic celebration that ended in death.
