Feds Investigate Death of Crew Member on MSC Musica Cruise Ship

February 19, 2010 - O Globo


SAO PAULO - The ship MSC Musica docks Saturday at the Port of Santos has been no action to investigate the death of university Camilla Flag Peixoto, 28, crew found dead inside the cabin on January 10 past. But the version of suicide less and less convincing the Federal Police Pataro Sandro de Paula e Silva, in charge of research.

The main investigation is the companion of the young waiter of the ship, Bruno Souza Ricardo. Reports of expertise and reports of other crew of the vessel indicate that Camilla died between 7:30 am and 9h42m that day. Witnesses said that Bruno was absent from work in the bar between 9am and 9h20m.

In his statement, Bruno said he had gone to the cabin around 9h50m to smoke and Camilla found dead. He said she used a sheet tied to the air conditioning duct to hang himself. It was he who called the booth for help. The connection, according to expertise, was made at 9h42m19s.

In his testimony to the PF, the waiter reported that she arrived at the cabin, and take Camilla makeshift gallows with water, carried first aid procedures in an attempt to revive her as cardiac massage and mouth to mouth, before asking help.

" The schedules do not match ... In the statement, he said, going to the cabin to smoke, he came across the body hanging Camila "


- The schedules do not match. The cabin door was open to 9h42m with a magnetic card access. In testimony, he said, going to the cabin to smoke, he came across the body of Camila hung and held first aid procedures. He calculated that he used between 8 or 9 minutes in an attempt to save her, but it took only 19 seconds between the door is opened and the connection to the plant - says the officer, re-board the MSC Musica for Saturday hear two more crew members cited in testimony - a man and a woman.

The PF suspects that Bruno has entered the cabin before, between 9am and 9h20m, and the door has been opened by itself Camilla, inside without the use of the card.

The experts did not find the sheet, according to Bruno, was used by Camila to hang himself. The only water available had no marks of having been rolled up for use as the hanging rope.

Pataro says that research is a puzzle, since the reports of the IML did not indicate signs of struggle in Camilla or sign of strangulation with hands. Also the examination of a forensic held in Bruno found no injuries or marks.

The possibility of Camilla was killed without reacting, while sleeping, is also remote. At 7:30 am the day of his death, she called the cab to the bar of the ship and spoke with Bruno for about 5 minutes. Witnesses at the bar did not notice signs of fight or exaltation in the boy. After the absence of the bar 20 minutes, Bruno returned to work and received request for delivery of juice in one of the cabins. It would have been at this time that he went to the cabin and found the body.

According to the investigations of the PF, Bruno used a magnetic card itself Camilla to enter the cabin where the couple was. Pataro Second, Bruno did not have badge to enter the cabin, since, when they reached the ship, do not sleep together - the exchange of rooms has been made with another couple formed by the crew.

- Camilla sleep in the cabin with another couple, but there was a change for couples to stay together and, therefore, Bruno did not have direct access to the cabin and depended on the partner to open the door - the officer explains.

Camila's family says the couple had friends with her boyfriend when she was 16. In April 2009, the two have met again through a social networking site on the internet and dating back in June. In October, boarded together to work for nine months in the cruise of MSC Musica.

According Rosangela Peixoto, mother of Camilla, the ship's officers knew that her daughter was being pressed for, and even then failed to provide the separation of cabins. She said the couple were later treated with hemorrhage in the medical department of the ship on behalf of kicks that Bruno would have in your belly.

Witnesses, however, report that, after asking for separation of cabins, Camilla would have gone back and given up the exchange. In the medical department, the information is that the medication was recommended without any examination of the body of Camilla, once the call was made by a doctor and she would have reported gynecological problems.

For the PF officer, Camilla may have hidden the ship's officers the problems with friends, to prevent the two were fired and had his contract of employment terminated for cause.

- A Camila told me he would ask to leave the ship on arrival in Santos, on the 10th, the day he died - says Rosangela, unhappily.

The intention of the family is to move a court action against the MSC Musica, the default and lack of safety at work, since Camilla was hired as a bartender. Rosangela said that after boarding the ship with Bruno, daughter suspected that he was User of drugs, which led to relationship problems between the two. For the mother, the couple found obstacles in the ship to depart from the boy.

Rosangela argues that seeking to collect the belongings of MSC Camilla would not have been returned, as laptop and digital camera, and footwear.

- My daughter boarded and handed me living dead. I will not rest until there is justice - she says.

For PF, the investigation has not ended. Delegate Pataro says there is evidence that there was a murder on board, but there is no conclusive evidence to file charges. At the request of the PF, Bruno had his passport taken and is prevented from leaving the country during the investigations.

- We are working for exclusion and based on the contradictions found in the reports - said Pataro, who requested drug test in the body of Camilla and Bruno. The result, however, still was not ready.

If it is determined that Bruno had used drugs that day, it's proof that he actually missed a coma since his testimony in the PF he denied using drugs.
