Carlos Henrique Medeiros, a 26-year-old Brazilian Youtuber went missing on Christmas Day after he went for dinner with his friends. His body was found buried in the backyard of one of his neighbours, who claimed he was dead during a cocaine-fueled sex. Medeiros was known for his skit and prank videos. He had 1.77 million subscribers in YouTube and 86,800 followers on Instagram.
After Medeiros’s friends said about him returning to home at 2:00 am after Christmas dinner, his family searched in hospitals and schools till when someone reported about seeing a “mound of dirt in the house of this couple”, which is on Saturday. Medeiros reportedly visited the couple – Renan Jose (28) and Caroline Mello (24), who is pregnant, on Christmas Day, Medeiros’s sister Cristiane Aparecida Medeiros told media.
She said those reported about finding the mound of dirt went in to the couple’s house and saw the deceased’s T-shirt. “They called the police, who went there and found him buried”. The couple claimed the YouTuber had died while taking drugs and having sex with Carolina Mello’s sister, said police.
The couple told police that they buried him because they didn’t know what to do with the body. “He allegedly had an overdose while taking Caroline’s sister to have sex in the bathroom. At the moment he was having an orgasm, he felt unwell and fell dead”, said Police Chief Luis Roberto Faria Hellmeister to JAM Press.
On Sunday, the couple turned themselves over in Itapecerica da Serra, outside of Sao Paulo. The autopsy will determine the cause of the death. Police said no evidence of stab wounds, strangulations or gunshots was found on the body. The Police Chief said that if the autopsy report suggests the death to be accidental, the couple will be charged with concealing the corpse, and if the report says the death was a murder, the couple will be charged with homicide.
The YouTuber’s sister does not believe that her brother’s death was due to drug overdose and asked that if her brother got really sick “as they claimed, why didn’t they call an ambulance to help him?”.
