Brazilian influencer Valioso, whose birth name was Alex Luan dos Santos Pereira, has passed away at the age of 20. He was in a high-speed car when it collided with a tree.
Although Valioso died on impact, the condition of the four passengers who were quickly transported to a hospital remains unclear. The tragic accident took place on October 4 on Padre Alfredo Street, located in front of the Jardim da Saudade Cemetery in Jacobina, Brazil.
The Brazilian news site g1, referencing local authorities, reported that Valioso was driving a fast-moving vehicle accompanied by four others when the accident occurred. The passengers were taken to Vicentina Goulart Regional Hospital.
His last Instagram post was made on September 29. Valioso’s earliest post on TikTok dates back to November 2023.
Valioso’s demise follows the recent news about influencer Adair Mendes Dutra Junior, who reportedly died at age 31 due to complications from a cosmetic procedure.
The fashion influencer, recognized as Junior Dutra on Instagram, passed away on October 3, a month after alleging complications from a ‘fox eyes’ surgery which required him to get hospital treatment.
Junior’s friend Gean Souza confirmed his passing with the Brazilian magazine Quem, alleging his complications developed into an infection, according to People.
In an interview conducted in Portuguese, Souza alleged his friend ‘became ill, felt very short of breath, and was taken to the nearest emergency room at a public hospital’ on October 3 before dying.
‘He had been having infectious reactions and feeling discomfort since the procedure,’ Souza said. ‘Last Friday, the problem worsened.’
Dutra claimed in a September interview with Feed TV that he had gotten an infection after undergoing the procedure by Dr. Fernando Garbi back in March.
He claimed he developed an infection after the procedure that led him to seek help at a hospital, according to People. In a statement via his lawyer, Garbi denied the allegations, calling them ‘false’.
Junior’s interview contained content of what appeared to be bruises and swelling on his face, People notes. They also report Junior said he was being looked after by a dermatologist at the time.
The Daily Mail has contacted Garbi and his lawyer Marcelo Cheli for comment but have not yet heard back.
The fox eye surgery, which lifts the outer corners of the eyes to create a sharper, feline shape, has gained traction globally among celebrities and influencers.
Prior to his passing, Junior filed a request for investigation against the doctor with 15th Police District of São Paulo, according to LeoDias portral, which has seen the legal documents.

People reports that the late stylist was suing the doctor on six allegations, including illegal practice of medicine, serious bodily injury, and fraudulent misrepresentation.
Garbi’s lawyer denied the allegations made against the doctor in a statement, calling them ‘false’.
Per People, the statement says that Garbi has no ‘connection’ with Dutra’s death.
The denial, uploaded to Garbi’s Instagram, said that the allegations leveled against the doctor were being made ‘by people eager for brief moments of notoriety.’
‘All legal measures, in the civil and criminal spheres, will be taken against the authors of the insults and slander, so that they respond, to the exact extent of their responsibilities, for the injuries perpetrated against Doctor Fernando,’ the statement concludes, according to People.
People reports that Garbi – whose website states he’s a maxillofacial surgeon, a facial and cosmetic surgeon, and facial and esthetic harmonization specialist – also denied any links between the ‘fox eyes’ procedure and alleged infection in an interview with Portal Leo Dias.
‘We still don’t have the medical records with the cause of death,’ Junior’s friend Souza told Quem.
