Bárbara Jankavski Márquez, 31, was found dead wearing only underwear, with a cut over her left eye and marks on her back at the home of a public official.
An influencer nicknamed “Human Barbie” was found dead and half-naked in the home of a public official.
Barbara Jankavski Marquez, 31, was found gruesomely dead after a public defender, 51, told police he had hired her for “sexual services” the night before. The official, who lived in the house where the influencer was found dead on Sunday, claimed that the two had used drugs when she began coughing repeatedly and then appeared to fall asleep while watching television, in the Lapa district of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The official stated that he tried to perform resuscitation for about nine minutes, when he realized that she stopped moving, before calling emergency services.

Paramedics declared the influencer dead around 9 p.m., after they found her lying on her back and wearing only underwear, with an injury to her left eye and marks on her back.
An acquaintance of the public defender, a 43-year-old woman, told investigators that she was at the house earlier that day, but not when the “human Barbie” died. The woman claimed that she saw the influencer slip and fall around 4 a.m., injuring his eye.
Police revealed that the case was registered as a suspicious death and said they are awaiting forensic and toxicological reports to determine the cause of death.
According to investigators, both witnesses will be called for further questioning and the influencer’s family members are expected to be interviewed as part of the ongoing investigation.
Barbara, known online as “Boneca Desumana” (‘Inhuman Doll’), had more than 344,000 followers on TikTok and 55,000 on Instagram, where she posted about her extensive journey in cosmetic surgery.
She underwent at least 27 plastic surgeries that cost more than 43,000 pounds sterling (300,000 reais). These included several extreme procedures such as liposuction on the neck, abdomen and legs, breast and buttock augmentation, eyebrow lifts and five rhinoplasties to achieve the doll-like appearance.
This comes after an actress and influencer is believed to have been brutally murdered just 30 minutes into a live stream by a VIP fan. Yoon Ji-ah was assaulted and strangled to death before her body was abandoned in a suitcase in the mountains on September 11.
Yoon had been filming on Yeongjong Island, Incheon, South Korea, about a three-hour drive from where her body was eventually discovered. The influencer’s body was later found abandoned in a mountain grass field in Muju County, and an autopsy report determined that her cause of death was asphyxiation due to neck compression.
