Overview
- The official IML report delivered to police attributes the death to intoxication by cocaine leading to an infarct, with no violent act identified by investigators.
- Bárbara Jankavski Marquez, 31, was found dead on November 2 at public defender Renato De Vitto’s home in Lapa, São Paulo.
- De Vitto told police he hired her for sexual services, said both used illicit substances, and performed CPR after emergency dispatchers guided him; SAMU declared death at 21:07.
- She was documented semi-nude with a left-eye injury and marks on her back; a friend reported she slipped and fell, a scenario experts said could explain the wounds.
- The São Paulo Public Ministry and the family’s lawyers seek transfer to the DHPP, fault missed forensic steps, plan new examinations with possible exhumation, and confirm De Vitto remains on leave from the Defensoria Pública.
