Valet pointed out as responsible for the pool where a teacher died in East Zone of SP provides testimony to the police

The valet of the C4 Gym in São Paulo, linked to the maintenance of a pool where a teacher died, has presented himself to authorities to provide a statement regarding the incident.

A valet from the C4 Gym in São Paulo, identified as the individual responsible for the maintenance of the pool where teacher Juliana Faustino Bassetto tragically lost her life, has come forward to give testimony to the police. The incident took place in the East Zone of the city, and he arrived at the police station with his lawyers, concealing his identity. Investigators are looking into the case as there were also reports of four other individuals being hospitalized following the incident, prompting a comprehensive inquiry.

Authorities suspect that mishandling of chemical products in close proximity to the swimming area may have contributed to the unfortunate situation, especially considering that the pool area is enclosed and poorly ventilated. Eyewitness accounts gathered in the ongoing investigation revealed that the gym lacked a technical supervisor for the pool, raising concerns about the safety protocols in place. The ongoing police investigation aims to clarify the circumstances surrounding the teacher's death and evaluate any potential negligence or safety violations.

As the investigation continues, the repercussions of the incident highlight significant issues regarding the safety of recreational facilities and the need for rigorous maintenance standards. This case underscores the importance of having qualified personnel responsible for public safety, especially in environments involving children or vulnerable individuals. The outcome of this inquiry could lead to critical changes in safety regulations for gyms and other facilities to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
