São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil – November 5, 2025: Neighbors alerted police to a putrid stench seeping from a locked apartment in the Cohab district. Inside, officers discovered the bloated, maggot-riddled corpse of 29-year-old Ana Clara Mendes dangling from a ceiling fan by an electrical cord. The body, in advanced decomposition with skin slippage and purge fluid pooling beneath, suggests she hanged herself at least five days ago.
