A four-year-old girl is now an orphan, just days after her birthday, following her parents’ sudden death in a bath.
Military police officer Jeferson Luiz Sagaz, 37, and his partner Ana Carolina Silva, 41, were found dead in São Jose, Brazil, on August 11.
The couple had spent the day celebrating their daughter’s birthday at a food park before later going to a nightclub and checking into the Dallas Motel around midnight.
Investigators found the couple dead in a bath from heatstroke, after passing out in 50°C water, while a space heater was also turned on high.
When they failed to pick up their daughter the next day, relatives raised the alarm and reported them missing.
The couple’s drunken state meant they couldn’t climb out of the scalding water when they became unwell. Chief Medical
