The São Paulo Civil Police registered the death of Rafael Puglisi, a celebrity dentist, as suspicious. He was found dead on Monday (18) near the swimming pool at his home in São Paulo.
In a note sent to CNN the São Paulo Public Security Secretariat explained that investigations follow an internal rule that determines that all deaths from unnatural causes must be treated as suspicious.
The department also informed that the case is with the 2nd DP of Barueri, a city in Greater São Paulo. The text also says that expertise was requested from the Legal Medical Institute (IML) and the Criminalistics Institute (IC).

According to the publication made by the family, the dentist had hit his head while diving into the pool at his home on Monday morning. The cause of death on the death certificate released by the family was “traumatic brain injury”.
“Rafa went for his morning swim, as usual, he was at home getting ready to get into his pool and dive in, like he does every day! However, today, God wanted this dive to be different and Rafa ended up hitting his head! The doctors tried to revive him, but unfortunately he arrived at the hospital dead,” the family wrote on Instagram.
The dentist’s wake was held this Tuesday afternoon (19) at the Morumbi cemetery, in the west of São Paulo. The funeral mass and burial were open to the public.
