Authorities in Canada have confirmed that a body discovered in April 2024 in the wooded area of Coaticook, Quebec, is that of Letícia Alves de Oliveira, a Brazilian national who went missing in 2023. The confirmation came from the NGO Unidentified Human Remains Canada, which reported that the body was located by hunters in a stormwater gallery in a forest region on April 24, 2024. Preliminary investigations suggest that her death may have been due to hypothermia, as she was found dressed in winter clothing, and temperatures in the area often drop below freezing during winter.

Letícia, who was 36 years old and originally from Goiânia, Brazil, was reported missing in 2023, and the authorities have been investigating her disappearance since then. The Brazilian consulate in Montreal has received notifications from local authorities regarding the identification of her remains. The diplomatic representation has stated that the body was discovered without signs of violence, which is helping to shape the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.

The case has raised questions about the safety of foreign nationals in Canada and how weather conditions can be a significant factor contributing to such tragedies. The continuing inquiry aims to provide answers regarding Letícia's last known whereabouts and the events leading to her tragic end, as the consulate continues to offer support to her family during this difficult time.
