Influencer Francisco Garcia’s Father, ‘Seu Boinha,’ Dies at 69 After Prolonged ICU Stay

Complications after hydrocephalus surgery led to strokes, triggering a decompressive craniectomy with the skull bone preserved in his abdomen.

Overview

  • Francisco Garcia announced his father’s death at 22:24 on February 17 in Palmas, confirming the 69-year-old’s passing on Instagram.
  • Lisboa spent more than 20 days in the ICU for hydrocephalus treatment as his condition worsened with systemic infection, renal failure and dependence on mechanical ventilation.
  • Following valve implantation, he suffered both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes that caused severe brain swelling and necessitated emergency surgery.
  • Doctors removed part of the skull to relieve pressure and temporarily stored the bone under the abdominal skin for later reconstruction, a technique explained by a neurologist cited by G1.
  • He also developed pulmonary embolism, growing need for vasoactive drugs, inability to undergo hemodialysis and pressure ulcers; a family friend said Garcia will step back from social media and funeral details will be shared later.
