The Civil Police of São José dos Campos is investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a 35-year-old doctor who was found unresponsive in the break room of the Municipal Hospital Dr. José de Carvalho Florence. The discovery was made by a medical colleague who entered the dimly lit room and used her phone's flashlight to see, at which point she noticed the doctor lying on the floor with an intravenous access in his left arm and two connected syringes near him. No signs of violence were observed at the scene, raising questions about the cause of death.

Upon discovering the body, the colleague immediately sought help, and efforts to revive the doctor took place in the emergency department for approximately 40 minutes, ultimately without success. The break room where the incident occurred is accessible to healthcare professionals without any locks, allowing for free entry and exit, which raises concerns about safety and monitoring within hospital facilities.

This tragic event has sparked discussions within the medical community about the mental health and safety of healthcare professionals, especially considering the pressures they face, particularly during challenging times in healthcare systems. The investigation will seek to uncover more details surrounding the doctor's death and whether any additional factors may have contributed to this unfortunate incident.
