Security camera videos captured the moment of the tragic accident in a two-story apartment building. The Special Homicide and Personal Protection Police Station (DHPP) of Cuiabá reported that the actor was found “without external injuries, lying on the lower floor, approximately four meters from the floor where he lived.”

“The building’s cameras were reviewed by the police, and the images showed the dynamics of the moment when the victim is seen sitting on the upper floor. Then, he lies on the ground for a few minutes, and when he gets up, he loses his balance and his body tilts over the railing, causing him to fall,” reads the authorities’ note, published by the newspaper ‘O Globo’.
Witnesses to the accident told the police that Thommy Schiavo had been drinking at a bar near his residence, so it is not ruled out that the effects of alcohol caused the Brazilian to lose his balance. However, this has yet to be confirmed by authorities.
