Here’s a summary of the key data from the article:
* The Incident: Jeferson and Ana Carolina, a couple from Brazil, were found dead in the bathroom of the Dallas Motel in São José, Santa Catarina state, on August 11th.
* Circumstances: They had been celebrating their daughter’s fourth birthday, spending the day at a food park and a nightclub, and had consumed alcohol. Toxicology reports revealed very high alcohol levels and traces of cocaine in their systems.
* Inquiry: Police investigated the motel room, the couple’s car, and CCTV footage. While initial reports indicated drug use, the chief inspector stated that people close to the couple denied they had a drug habit. Police have stated there was no history of violence.
* Family response: the family has requested a new, “independent” investigation into the deaths.
* Current Situation: The couple’s four-year-old daughter is now in the care of relatives.
* Conflicting Information: There’s a discrepancy between the toxicology reports (showing cocaine) and statements from those who knew the couple (denying drug use). The police are not commenting further on the investigation.
