'Human Barbie': Barbara Jankavski Marquez: found dead half-naked in man's home in Brazil

The body of 31-year-old Barbara Jankavski Marquez was discovered on November 2 in a two-storey home in the Lapa district of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Officers said the man living there, a 51-year-old public defender, claimed he had paid Barbara for sex and that the two had used drugs during the night before she began coughing repeatedly and later appeared to fall asleep while they watched television.

When she did not move, he told police he tried to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation for about nine minutes before calling emergency services. Paramedics confirmed her death at 9.07 pm.

Barbara was found lying on her back wearing only underwear, with a lesion to her left eye and marks on her back.

An acquaintance of the man, a 43-year-old woman, told investigators she had been at the house earlier that day but was not present at the time of death.

She claimed she saw the influencer slip and fall at about 4am, causing the injury to her eye. The case was recorded as a suspicious death.

The 7th Police District (Lapa) is awaiting forensic and toxicological reports to determine the cause.

According to investigators, both witnesses will be called for further questioning and relatives of the influencer are expected to be interviewed as part of the ongoing inquiry.

Barbara, known online as 'Boneca Desumana' ('Inhuman Doll'), had more than 344,000 followers on TikTok and 55,000 on Instagram, where she posted about her extensive cosmetic surgery.

She underwent at least 27 plastic surgeries costing over 300,000 Brazilian reals (£43,000), including liposuction on the neck, abdomen, and legs, breast and buttock augmentations, eyebrow lifts, and five rhinoplasties to achieve the doll-like look.
