translated from Spanish: Prosecutor’s Office investigates death of Nayara Vit: family doubts suicide

Last week it was announced the death of Brazilian model Nayara Vit, known for participating in different television programs and being a panelist of “Toc Show”. Yesterday, Vit’s cousin, Flaviana Puga, ruled out that the model had committed suicide. The panelist had died after falling from the 12th floor of the building in which she lived in Las Condes with her partner. According to Puga, in conversation with the morning show “Bienvenidos”, “Nay’s father tried several times to talk (with the woman’s current partner) to find out what had happened… He did not answer calls and his WhatsApp messages were seen and ignored.” We are certain that my cousin did not committed suicide. She didn’t have depression and didn’t take remedies for it,” the woman said. “We talked a lot on video calls. Nayara had plans and was very cheerful. We want to understand everything that happened,” he added. Through Chilevisión Noticias, the friend and lawyer of the model in Chile, Marcela Bakit and Cristian Cáceres, said that, although they do not want to target anyone, there are different facts that cast doubt on a suicide. According to Bakit, after the death of the model, a deep toilet would have been done in the apartment from which she fell before the first expert reports could be made of the place. In addition, according to Cáceres, neighbors of the place would affirm that, in addition to the fact that no one present in the home went down to see the body, moments before the fall of Vit, a pot of great magnitude would have fallen. According to Flagrancia Oriente prosecutor Omar Merida, “all hypotheses” surrounding Vit’s death are being investigated. According to Merida, “at the moment it is not possible to pronounce on what caused this precipitation,” because investigations into the case are still ongoing.
