While at the house, Gabrielly suddenly fell ill and collapsed to the floor.
Her friends called for an ambulance and informed her father, Valbério Moreira.
He rushed to the construction site in Pedra Branca in north-eastern Brazil.
He arrived at around 12.30 am and saw paramedics trying to revive his daughter.
Valbério said he observed blood stains on her chin and bruises on her right arm.
He also noticed two vodka bottles in the house, one empty and the other still had some left.
He said he managed to speak to two of the three companions, as reported by Need To Know.
Her devastated father said the circumstances surrounding her death are “very mysterious.”
According to the girl, Gabrielly entered a dark room with one of the boys, and came out screaming about 25 minutes later.
Gabrielly, who was a high school student and part-time model, was already losing consciousness on the floor when the others entered the room.
According to the boy she was with, she suddenly felt ill and collapsed.
Valbério said, “The under-construction house was large and dark. We want to know the truth.
“It’s a very mysterious thing.”
He added, “I loved her deeply. Gabrielly was an absolute sweetheart.”
The authorities are currently waiting for the results of an autopsy to establish the teen’s exact cause of death.
Gabrielly’s family and friends are planning a parade in the model’s honour.
A spokesperson for the Elza Gomes Martins High School, where she attended, said: “Her presence was always synonymous with joy, charisma, and dedication, becoming an example for young people and the entire community.”
This year, Gabrielly was crowned beauty queen of the Cavalgada dos Vaqueiros annual festival in Pedra Branca.
She won the Princess beauty contest at the same event a couple of years ago.
