Influencer known for 27 surgeries dies at age 31.

Barbara Jankavski, a Brazilian influencer known as the “Human Barbie” for undergoing an extensive series of 27 plastic surgeries, was found dead at the age of 31 over the recent weekend, as confirmed by authorities on Wednesday. Her untimely death has raised several questions, leading local police to initiate an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her demise.

On November 2, Jankavski was reportedly with a local attorney, Renato Campos Pinto de Vitto, in São Paulo. According to police reports obtained by Media News Source, the two had reportedly consumed illicit substances together. De Vitto subsequently alerted authorities when he realized that Jankavski was unresponsive. Law enforcement officials indicated that she was discovered in a state of undress, wearing only underwear, and displayed an injury to her left eye, along with visible marks on her back.

De Vitto, a 51-year-old public defender, has been identified as a person of interest in the investigation. He allegedly engaged Jankavski’s services for sexual purposes on the day of her death. As part of the ongoing investigation, São Paulo police are treating her death as suspicious and have mandated both an autopsy and a toxicology assessment to determine the exact cause.

Furthermore, a friend of De Vitto has communicated to police that Jankavski may have sustained her injuries in a fall earlier that same day. The attorney stated that he did not notice her unresponsiveness until after she had fallen asleep.

Jankavski was a prominent figure on social media, boasting a following of over 400,000 across various platforms, including Instagram and TikTok. She was known for sharing her experiences with undergoing numerous cosmetic procedures, which contributed to her “Human Barbie” persona. Her online presence included the username “Boneca Desumana,” translating to “inhuman doll.” However, her last social media post prior to her death was made on October 1, after a period of consistent updates throughout the summer.

This tragic incident highlights the potential dangers associated with substance use and the pressures faced by influencers in the pursuit of often unattainable beauty standards. As investigations continue, many will be looking for answers regarding the circumstances leading up to Jankavski’s death and the implications it may have within the broader conversation about cosmetic surgery and influencer culture.
