An IML report concluded that medical student Carolina Andrade Zar died from acute arsenic poisoning, prompting police to investigate possible third-party involvement in her death.
A recent report from the Instituto Médico-Legal (IML) confirmed that Carolina Andrade Zar, a 22-year-old medical student from Marília, died from acute arsenic poisoning. Initially ruled a suicide, further investigation into her death was prompted by this revelation, indicating potential foul play.
Carolina was found unconscious in May 2025 and passed away later that day after being taken to a local hospital. The conclusive report from the IML, completed in late January 2026, has led the Civil Police to reopen the investigation, focusing on any third-party involvement in her tragic death. The case had attracted public interest due to its unusual nature, shifting from an assumed suicide to a possible homicide.
Family members have raised suspicions regarding Carolina's then-boyfriend, suggesting he may have had a direct influence on the events leading to her death. As the investigation unfolds, authorities are looking into various aspects of her life and those connected to her, which could shed light on the circumstances surrounding this shocking incident.
