The Brazilian YouTuber who was found buried at a home consumed drugs and had sex with a minor, who helped her brother and his wife conceal the body in a pit, police revealed Wednesday.
The 16-year-old girl met with the Civil Police on Tuesday, two days after body of Carlos Medeiros was discovered in a shallow pit at the residence in the São Paulo municipality of Itapecerica da Serra.
The teenager was accompanied by her father and told investigators that Medeiros visited her brother’s home December 24 and took drugs while they were having sex in the bathroom.
The girl said that social media influencer had a heart attack and that she and her brother and her sister-in-law buried him in the backyard.
‘The girl was interviewed at the police station and told us that she had a consensual relationship with him,’ Itapecerica Central Police Station chief Luis Faria said, as quoted by Brazilian news outlet G1. ‘She also said that she tried to revive him more than one time, but she couldn’t.’

The girl was released following the interrogation although her 28-year-old brother and his 24-year-old wife, whose names have not been made public, remained in custody after they voluntarily turned themselves in Monday.
They all told investigators that Medeiros took cocaine and that they buried him because they were scared over what had taken place.
The teenager revealed her sister-in-law decided to bury Medeiros after his heart did ‘not beat again.’
‘She said that after not being able to get his heart to beat again, despite cardiac massages, her sister’s husband thought it best to bury him,’ Faria said.
The removed his clothing and then passed his body through a window and dumped him in the grave, that had been dug out by her girl’s brother, Faria added.
The girl said that her brother did drugs with Medeiros.
‘I think he didn’t want to call the police or the ambulance so they wouldn’t go to his house and find drugs there,’ Faria said. ‘Otherwise he could run the risk of losing custody of his three children with his wife, who is pregnant.’

Authorities are waiting on the results of an autopsy that will show whether Medeiros took cocaine and if the fatal heart attack was caused by a drug overdose.
‘Depending on the result, the case will be murder or concealment of a body, especially because these three people we have already heard said they helped bury and hide the body,’ Faria said.
Medeiros was reported missing December 25 after he failed to return home from the dinner at the girl’s brother’s home.
His family was joined by neighborhood residents and spent the week searching for him in area hospitals and the woods.

During a search of the home, a resident noticed that the dirt nearby had been shoveled and found the clothes Medeiros was last seen wearing inside the residence. Firefighters were later able to remove his body from the pit.
According to a police report, Medeiros’ body did not display signs of violence.
The house was set on fire by neighbors, but no arrests have been made.
Medeiros was blossomed as a YouTube star by creating content based on joked and pranks that he practiced on area residents.
His friend, Robson Casemiro, told Brazilian new outlet Metropoles that he stopped producing videos following his father’s death in 2023.
‘When his father died, he changed completely. His shine disappeared. He started using drugs, cocaine. This friend (the male suspect) also used these things,’ Robson said.
‘One hypothesis is that they were both using drugs, he had a mental (breakdown) and attacked Henrique (Medeiros). Another is money.’
