Investigation into death of Larissa da Cruz Morata

Overview

Authorities are investigating the death of 29-year-old radiology technician Larissa da Cruz Morata in Embu das Artes, Brazil. Morata was found dead in her bathroom after sustaining a single gunshot wound to the head. A necropsy report confirmed the cause of death as traumatic brain injury, noting the bullet traveled “from back to front and from left to right.”

Investigators are utilizing advanced forensic technology, including 3D scanning, to map the residence. Subsequent necropsy findings revealed at least 16 bruises on the victim’s hands, feet, knees, and left leg, though the report does not specify if these were caused by assault or falls.

Vinicius Costa Silva, a military police officer who lived with the victim, was temporarily arrested following the incident. The judiciary has maintained his detention at the Presídio Militar Romão Gomes.
