Larissa da Cruz Morata necropsy reveals 16 bruises

A necropsy report regarding the death of Larissa da Cruz Morata has revealed at least 16 bruises, or ecchymoses, distributed across her hands, feet, knees, and left leg. The victim was found dead in the bathroom of her home in Embu das Artes, near São Paulo, after sustaining a single gunshot wound to the head. The trajectory of the bullet was described as “from back to front and from left to right.”

Vinicius Costa Silva, a military police officer who lived with the victim, was arrested temporarily on Monday following the incident. The judiciary has maintained his detention, and he is currently held at the Presídio Militar Romão Gomes. While the autopsy identifies the cause of death as traumatic brain injury due to a firearm wound, the report does not specify the timing or cause of the multiple bruises, nor does it explicitly attribute them to physical assault, falls, or other specific circumstances.
