Tragically, Yago was pronounced dead at the scene, while his friend Ryan, 23, was showing vital signs and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
As of the latest update on Tuesday (26 Aug), Ryan remains in hospital but is no longer in a coma and is expected to be discharged soon.
During a search of the suite in the Ornos area of Mykonos, Greece, police found a used syringe on the balcony on Saturday (23 Aug)
They also discovered four sachets containing a white powder of unknown composition, which have been sent for laboratory analysis.
A post-mortem is expected to clarify Yago’s cause of death, as reported by Need To Know.
He was originally from Jacareí but had been living in São José dos Campos, in São Paulo state, Brazil.
Ryan’s sister, Maine Silveira, had been on a video call with the friends just minutes before they fell unconscious.
She said: “They were really happy in the pool. They were going to a party afterwards.
“They were messing around, hugging each other in the pool, saying everything there was beautiful.”
But after the call ended, the pair suddenly stopped messaging or posting photos, leaving Maine worried.
She only learned of the tragedy on Monday (25 Aug), while Ryan, an adult content creator, found out the following day.
She said, “Ryan is shaken by everything that’s happened.
“Everyone suggests there was a third person involved because he was injured, but he can’t remember.
“I’ve tried everything to see if it jogs his memory.”
Yago had worked as a model and celebrated his 25th birthday in the UAE on 16 August.
Maine added: “Behind all this, there’s Yago’s family, who had gone to celebrate his birthday in Dubai, happily travelling with a friend.
“They’ve now lost their son and are suffering terribly.”
Yago’s sister, Thamyris Campos, also spoke out: “My brother was amazing, kind! He wasn’t a prostitute or a drug addict, as some are saying.
“He was a hardworking man, with dreams, and he fought hard to make them come true.”
