Duda died from complications caused by silicone fillers.

A trans woman, known as “Duda Gaucha”, died last Monday (3) after suffering complications due to the application of silicone [fillers]. She lived in a boarding house in Curitiba. The death caused a stir on social media.

The death was confirmed by Grupo Dignidade, which fights for citizenship and LGBTI+ rights. “This Monday (3/6), we lost Duda Gaucha. Duda was a very strong trans woman, she was part of the Transgrupo Marcela Prado, which aimed to promote citizenship, health, education, public safety, culture and human rights for travesti and transsexual [people]. Duda lived at Samantha Wolkan's Trans Star boarding house in Curitiba”, she began.

“We deeply regret the loss of Duda. May her story be remembered and serve as an alert to the need for more safety and support for the trans community. May Duda rest in peace”, concluded the group.

A friend of Duda Gaucha published an emotional message on social media. “Today I lost a daughter. A happy and lively girl. I will always carry you in my heart,” she wrote.
