as posted by the channel

Soap-opera actor Jefferson Machado, who vanished nearly five months ago, has been found dead in a trunk outside of a home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The actor’s passing was confirmed on his Instagram page by family friend Cintia Hilsendeger.

“It is with great regret that we inform you that Jeff was found dead on 05/22/2023,” she wrote in the heartbreaking post.

Authorities said that the body of the 44-year-old was discovered bound and stuffed inside a wooden chest, which had been encased in concrete and buried 6 feet beneath the backyard of a house in the Campo Grande neighborhood, G1 reported.

“He had his arms tied behind his head and buried in a trunk that is very similar to the ones in his own house,” the family’s lawyer Jairo Magalhães said in a statement, per R7 News.

The attorney said that the corpse, which was identified using fingerprints, had a “line” on the neck, indicating that he was strangled.
