Influencer Lidiane Aline Lorenço and her teenage daughter were found dead in their apartment in Brazil.
Lorenço, 33, and her 15-year-old daughter, Miana Sophya Santos, were discovered at an apartment in the southwest area of Rio de Janeiro on Friday, October 10, according to local outlets including R7, UOL Notícias and G1.
Neighbors expressed concern after noticing a strange smell coming from Lorenço’s apartment. The local police department launched an investigation that confirmed no signs of violence were found on the bodies or in the apartment.
Officers were called to the scene after the mother and daughter hadn’t been seen for five days. They were found deceased in separate rooms, and the Civil Police are looking into what took place.
“A forensic examination was conducted at the scene and found no evidence of assault,” read a statement. “The bodies were autopsied, but it has not yet been possible to determine the cause of death. Further tests will be performed.”
The duo were laid to rest on Sunday, October 12. Before her death, Lorenço was a model and a social media influencer. She was also a medical student at a university in Rio, according to posts on her social media account.
The Civil Police told local outlets that “investigations are ongoing.”
Earlier this month, news broke about another influencer death in Brazil when Rafaela Del Bianchi reportedly died at age 27 as the result of a fatal car accident. Multiple outlets reported that Bianchi was ejected from a car while driving on the Lix da Cunha Highway in São Paulo after the vehicle flipped.
Brazilian soccer star Kerolin Nicoli and her daughter honored Bianchi.
“Even though we know that one day life will end, we are never prepared to lose someone,” read the post. “Today heaven gained a piece of what I loved most on Earth. It hurts to know that I can’t hug you anymore, but I feel you in every silence, in every good memory. Nothing will erase what we live. Our love doesn’t end here — it’s just moved places. 🤍”
Rafaela’s brother, Ryan Del Binachi, also shared his letter to the influencer. “They say time is able to heal everything, but it’s been hard to heal this void in my heart since you left,” the Instagram caption read. “Even with this pain that won’t go away, we try to move forward to honor the amazing, strong, light-filled woman you were!”
He continued: “Life gave me you as a gift, and I am only grateful for every word and every gesture, for all the affection and love. I wanted many more days and years by your side.”
