While in the city, the model decided to undergo free liposuction in exchange for social media promotion, it’s reported.
But the content creator never returned home.
On Saturday (15 Jun), Ana, of Belo Horizonte, reportedly went in for surgery earlier than planned.
This was despite having eaten and consumed alcohol the night before.
“She wasn’t supposed to eat or drink anything – we all knew that,” Elgar said.
He claims Ana was moved to another unit.
He said: “They told us it was just for tests.”
Later that night, he was sent a video showing Ana unconscious but stable, as reported on Need To Know.
He said: “They said she was sleeping and I could come see her in a few hours.”
But the next morning, he returned to the clinic to find a chaotic situation.
Elgar said: “People were crying, police were outside, no one would tell me what happened.
“One doctor told me her heart was still beating. Another said she was already dead.
“I lost control. I cried, screamed, punched the walls.
“I still have marks on my hands. I saw her in the morgue.
“She looked so peaceful – but she was gone.”
An investigation has been launched.
