A 30 -year -old Brazilian researcher was found dead in Japan, on Thursday night, 1st, local time -in the morning, in Brazil -with burns and inside an apartment near Narita International Airport in Tokyo.
Born in Caldazinha, Goiás, Amanda Borges da Silva was graduated in letters and had just completed the master’s degree in the linguistics area.
She was on a walk in Asia and went to Japan in April to accompany her Formula 1 Suzuka Grand Prix, held on the 6th. He would also have visited her boyfriend’s relatives in South Korea.
The Government of Goiás has confirmed death and has already provided funeral aid. Itamaraty states that “it is aware of the case and is in contact with the family members of the Brazilian, to whom it provides consular assistance, and with the local Japanese authorities.”
In the networks, where he adds more than 11,000 followers, she posted the tours she did for Asian countries, such as Disneysea.
The circumstances of death remain clarified. According to a close friend of the researcher, who did not want her name to be published, Amanda was found inside an apartment near Tokyo airport with burns and without part of her belongings.
This friend, who obtained the information from family members, explained to the report that a scholarship was left behind with the documents, which helped identify the body by relatives, who were contacted by the Japanese police.
Also according to the report of Amanda’s colleague, the Brazilian visited Japan alone, but kept contact frequently with her boyfriend, who would be in Brazil.
According to him, the researcher would have stopped sending messages to his partner two hours before boarding the plane, whose flight was scheduled to 10 pm last Thursday, at Tokyo time.
Suspicious, her boyfriend warned the family. Relatives started contacting the Brazilian consulate in Japan and also with the flight airline Amanda should take. The company, according to this colleague, even confirmed that Amanda had not boarded.
“He (boyfriend) had the last location of Amanda and it was from this that they located the body in an apartment very close to the airport,” explained the friend of the Brazilian Estadão.
According to this colleague, the victim’s companion knew that she had met an Indian man during the trip, and that Amanda had already shown fear about the individual – even, would have passed his contact to her boyfriend. “However, the number of this Indian is no longer registered in WhatsApp,” said the friend.
The Goiás Government International Affairs Office said, in a statement, that it is already in contact with family members and “providing the opening and progress of the process that requests the funeral aid for Goianos victimized abroad.”
In a statement, the City of Caldinha mourned the death of the researcher. “Amanda was a young girl full of dreams, dear to all, and her sudden departure leaves a deep void in our community,” said the city’s municipal administration where the Brazilian was born.
“In this moment of pain, we sympathize with their families and friends, offering all the necessary support in the face of this irreparable loss. We pray to God to comfort the hearts of all who loved Amanda and that their memory remains alive among us as an example of light, joy and hope,” the note added.
