A Rising Star
The 39-year-old star fell from his second-floor apartment balcony in Cuiabá during the early hours of Saturday, July 20, as confirmed by the Mato Grosso Civil Police.
Schiavo’s career was on an upward trajectory, with his role as João Zoinho in “Pantanal” cementing his place in Brazilian television history.
