The family of the young Vitória Chaves da Silva denounced two medical students who published a video on a mocking social network because the young woman was subjected to three heart and kidney transplants.
According to the recorded police report, the 26 -year -old patient died on April 28, 2025. The cause of the young woman’s death would have been a septic shock and chronic renal failure. She was hospitalized at the Heart Institute (Incor) of the Clinical Hospital of the University of São Paulo School of Medicine (FMUSP).
At birth, Vitória was diagnosed with severe congenital heart disease called Ebsstein anomaly, a rare disease that affects the heart valve.
According to a Vitória publication on a social network, the first transplant took place in 2005. The second happened 11 years later, in 2016, due to disease in the coronary veins. The third, and last transplant, took place in 2024.
The video from which the family became aware in early April was published in February and deleted on Tuesday (8). “So, I don’t know. This girl is thinking there’s seven lives? I don’t know,” says one of the students in the recording. The students were identified as Gabrielli Farias de Souza and Thaís Caldeiras Soares Foffano.
In a statement, FMUSP reported that the students involved in the case are graduates from other institutions and were in the hospital because of an extension course of one month. “FMUSP vehemently repudiates any form of disrespect for patients and reaffirms non -negotiable commitment to ethics, human dignity and values that guide good medical practice,” he said.
By note, the São Paulo Public Security Bureau said the case is investigated as injury through a police inquiry in the 14th Police District of Pinheiros.
The Public Prosecution Service of São Paulo informed the CNN which was filed, on Tuesday (8), a news of fact reporting what happened. “The case is being analyzed by the prosecution,” he said.
