A popular social media personality and her partner were discovered deceased on the side of a road in Porto Seguro, Brazil, just days before her scheduled appearance at a local festival. The bodies of Ulissias Marcelli, 30, a beauty queen, and Vinícius Souza de Carvalho, 28, were found by a farmer in what authorities suspect may have been a situation involving captivity and subsequent shooting, resulting in their deaths a day prior.
Law enforcement officials have initiated an investigation to ascertain if the couple’s demise is linked to an alleged debt associated with criminal drug activities in the area.
Ulissias was slated to be a presenter at the upcoming Rock Gaya Festival, set to occur on July 25, where she and her partner were found deceased. With approximately 20,000 online followers, she was recognized for her fire performance videos and gothic style, also known as ‘Miss Tattoo’. Tragically, she leaves behind a 13-year-old son.
Family and friends paid tribute to Ulissias through heartfelt messages on social media. Her mother conveyed, “Rest in peace, my loves. Your legacy is eternal. We will deeply miss you – this loss is truly devastating.”
In response to the tragic news, the Rock Gaya Festival expressed their sorrow at the sudden loss of Ulissias, who was meant to be part of their event. They stated, “We are struggling to find words at this time. It is difficult to accept that someone who was supposed to share a special moment with us has departed so unexpectedly.”
Fans of the influencer also shared their condolences online. One person wrote, “My deepest sympathies to the entire family and her son.” Another expressed shock at the news, hoping for her peaceful rest, while a third fan lamented the tragic circumstances surrounding her death and the impact on her son. Authorities have not made any arrests related to the incident, indicating an ongoing investigation.
This incident follows the recent death of another Brazilian influencer, Kauana Bilhar, who tragically fell from a tower block in Dubai. Kauana, aged 27, with a significant Instagram following, specialized in travel and modeling content.
Her mother, Darla Bilhar, shared the heartbreaking news of her daughter’s passing on July 7, expressing immense grief and eternal love for her departed child. She wrote, “No words can convey the depth of the void you have left. Although you are no longer beside me, you will forever reside within me. I cherish you endlessly, my dear. Until we meet again.”
