The body of 37yearold actor Ricardo Merini was found this Saturday by civil police at the Legal Medical Institute (IML) in São Paulo. The information was confirmed by police and friends. The cause of death is still unknown. When he left home to meet a friend on Saturday, a Samu team had to help him near an overpass. There is no information available as to whether he became ill or was attacked.
Merini had left home at around 11:30 p.m. after returning from a work trip to Santa Catarina. He walked without taking any documents with him and leaving the computer on. The key is also said to have gotten stuck in the front door.
Investigators conducted the searches within a kilometer radius of his home, reviewing the events of that night until they received Samus’ help.
Merini’s cell phone was found in Jaguaré, 14 km from where she disappeared. The region is known for the actions of criminals from the socalled Pix gang.
Camera images show that he left his apartment in the Bela Vista neighborhood of the capital of São Paulo unaccompanied on October 21.
Ricardo, who separated from his expartner and has two adopted children, had just returned home from a work trip to Santa Catarina. After disembarking at around 9:30 p.m., he went home and left again at 11:30 p.m. On the same day he was cared for by Samu and died.
In the pictures, Merini walks away with her cell phone in her hand, continues walking and looks at the device’s screen. According to the family, there is no evidence that he requested a ride via an app. He leaves the apartment wearing jeans and a black blazer a few hours after arriving from his trip.
