Overview

• Police confirmed Monday that Danilo Neves Pereira, 35, was identified as the man admitted to Hospital Ramos Mejía without documents and who died roughly a day after arrival.
• Neves Pereira vanished in the early hours of April 14 after sending friends a location on Avenida de Mayo and saying he would meet a contact from a dating app identified as “Ulysses,” reported to be a young Chilean.
• Argentine outlets La Nación and Clarín reported a psychotropic decompensation linked to cocaine use as the medical cause, while official disclosures remain limited and the autopsy process is under way.
• The City Police and the National Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation, and the city’s missing-persons unit traced him by cross-checking hospital records with the disappearance report.
• The Brazilian Consulate is assisting relatives but does not lead criminal inquiries, and friends and former colleagues at UFG have posted tributes as they await formal findings and repatriation steps.
