The actor was found dead in a trunk outside of a known acquaintance’s home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil earlier this month. The news was confirmed by the actor's family friend Cintia Hilsendeger.

In a statement, the family’s lawyer Jairo Magalhães said, “He had his arms tied behind his head and buried in a trunk that is very similar to the ones in his own house.”

Malgahães also revealed that the actor’s body exhibited signs of&nbsp;strangulation&nbsp;after authorities found a line running around his neck. The official&nbsp;cause of death, however, is still under investigation.

Right before his disappearance, the actor suddenly abandoned his beloved dogs and his irregular communication with his family has also raised concerns.&nbsp;Several other events that took place before the actor's mysterious death have added another layer of mystery to the case.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, his friends and family are seeking justice and closure. They are expecting the authorities to quickly catch the actor's murderer and put him behind bars.
