The reason behind the death of Bárbara Jankavski, a prominent Brazilian personality known as Human Barbie, has been officially confirmed. She tragically passed away at the age of 31 on November 2, 2025, after being found unconscious in the apartment of Renato Campos Pinto de Vitto, a 51-year-old public defender in São Paulo. Authorities have determined that her death was accidental and linked to the use of cocaine.
Following the confirmation of her death, an investigation was initiated after Pinto de Vitto informed the police that he had paid Jankavski for “sexual services” on the night she passed away. He disclosed that they both consumed illegal substances before going to sleep.
Although the cause of death aligns with the public defender’s statement to the authorities, Jankavski’s family members have raised doubts about the findings. Pinto de Vitto reportedly called emergency services upon noticing that she was unresponsive while asleep and attempted to assist her for nearly nine minutes before medical help arrived. However, upon arrival, paramedics declared her deceased.
Reports indicate that when the São Paulo State Military Police arrived at the scene, Jankavski was found wearing only her underwear and had bruising on her back and an injury near her left eye. A friend informed the police that she had fallen and injured her face earlier in the week. Jankavski had garnered a significant social media following with 55,000 Instagram followers and 344,000 on TikTok, documenting her journey of aesthetic transformation.
Known for undergoing 27 plastic surgeries to resemble a Barbie doll, her most recent procedure was a facelift in June 2025. Prior to her demise, she had been inactive on social media for over a month. Her final post featured a video with another digital creator, Avós Da Razão, expressing her desire to meet and praising her energy and humor.
Upon hearing the news of her passing, Razão mourned, “How sad Rest in peace flower,” which was met with an outpouring of sympathy from followers. One fan expressed disbelief, another bid farewell to their “Barbie doll,” and a third, devastated by the news, paid tribute to her legacy.
