According to family members, the man had no health problems and was feeling well the day he ate the dessert.

Both began experiencing symptoms of vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea approximately three hours after eating the candy.

It is suspected that the cake was bought by a woman in a shopping center located in Goiania and she later poisoned it.

Poison Pot Cake

Leonardo would like to wake up and eat a cake bought in a famous and respected establishment, but he felt sick.

Maria Paula, Luisa’s granddaughter and Leonardo’s daughter, mentioned that he had been vomiting continuously for several hours, he sought medical help, and when she was informed of the situation, a series of complications had already occurred that led to his death.

Leonardo’s mother, Luisa Alves, was admitted to the same hospital as her son and died shortly after him, early Monday morning (age 18), showing similar symptoms.

The case is being investigated by the State Department of Homicide Investigation, as Leonardo Pereira Alves was a civilian police officer. Procon Goias said its team visited the bakery where the food was sold and found no irregularities in the products tested.

Maria Paula Alves stressed on social networks that the cause of death is still unknown, stressing that no one knows exactly what happened.
