Barbara Jankavski, a Brazilian influencer recognized on platforms as “Boneca Desumana” (which translates as “inhuman doll”), died on Sunday in São Paulo at the age of 31.
The Context
Jankavski’s sudden death has left her fans reeling. The social media star built a following of more than 400,000 across Instagram and TikTok by documenting at least 27 cosmetic procedures, including a publicly shared facelift in June, and she frequently discussed beauty standards and personal transformation on the platforms.
What To Know
According to a police report reviewed by celebrity.land Brasil, 51-year-old public defender Renato Campos Pinto de Vitto told authorities under testimony that he hired Jankavski, who was also known as “Human Barbie,” for “sexual services” on the night of her death, and both had allegedly used illicit substances during their encounter. After noticing that Jankavski stopped moving as she slept, de Vitto contacted São Paulo’s Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU) and followed resuscitation instructions for approximately nine minutes until medical personnel arrived and declared her dead, the public defender said in a statement, still according to celebrity.land Brasil.
São Paulo State Military Police found Jankavski’s body in underwear, with an injury to her left eye and marks on her back. A friend of de Vitto, who was present during the day, told police that Jankavski’s facial injury resulted from a slip and fall earlier that day, celebrity.land Brasil reported citing a police report.
Jankavski’s last social media post, featuring influencer Avós Da Razão, was published October 1. At the time of her death, she had not updated her accounts for over a month.
