TikTok Star Duda Alves Dies Aged 22 Just Weeks After Breast Reduction Surgery as Police Investigate Her Death

Brazilian TikTok creator Duda Alves died aged 22 on 13 September 2026, just weeks after breast reduction surgery and days after posting about her recovery. Police in Brazil are investigating the circumstances of her death and have not publicly disclosed a final cause.

Alves had discussed pain, vomiting and unwelcome online comments connected to the procedure in recent videos. No authority has publicly linked the surgery, her reported recovery symptoms or her medical treatment to her death.

The creator, whose full name was Maria Eduarda Alves dos Santos, had a large audience on TikTok and was known for videos about her daily life, friends and boyfriend, Enrico. Her death was confirmed publicly by friends and relatives, and her recent social‑media posts have since been widely revisited.

Police Investigate Duda Alves' Death

The Civil Police of the Federal District told People that Duda Alves' death was being investigated as a suicide. The force declined to provide additional details 'in order to protect the privacy of the family'.

The reported line of investigation is not a final public finding on Duda Alves' cause of death. Brazilian reporting published after her death stated that the cause had not been disclosed, and officials have not publicly provided further circumstances.

Police in the Federal District are investigating the circumstances of Alves' death, according to Brazilian reporting. The available public information does not identify breast surgery as a cause, contributing factor or confirmed focus of that inquiry.

It would therefore be inaccurate to suggest that a recent operation explains how Alves died. Her procedure and recovery posts are part of the public timeline, but they are not evidence of medical causation.

Duda Alves' Posts About Breast Surgery

Alves discussed the procedure in the days before her death, describing messages she said she had received about it. In a video, she referred to comments from 'sleazy men' and said she had chosen the operation for 'comfort' and 'aesthetic' reasons.

The exact date of the final post varies between reports. People dated the video to 9 September, while Brazilian outlets placed her most recent post on 10 September or described it as being made five days before her death.

In an earlier recovery video, Alves said that she had experienced 'a lot of pain' and had been 'vomiting a lot and crying from the pain constantly'. Those comments were her personal account of recovery and do not provide a medical explanation for her death.

Funeral and Tributes for Duda Alves

Alves' body was viewed at São João Paulo II Parish in Brasília on the morning of 15 September. She was buried later that day at Campo da Esperança Cemetery.

Maria Xabah, a singer and friend of Alves, shared video from the farewell on social media. Alves' father spoke while holding pink and white balloons, which relatives later released.

'Beyond the love of her parents, she had the love of friends, and how important that is in our lives. Thank you,' he said. He also used a private nickname for his daughter and told her to 'go in peace'.

Clarissa Pavie, a friend of Alves, described her in a tribute as 'calmness, authenticity with a touch of acid humour'. Pavie wrote that Alves had changed her life and 'held my hand when I needed you'.

The Civil Police of the Federal District has not said when it will provide a further update. Until a final public finding is released, the verified position is that Duda Alves died aged 22, police are investigating the circumstances of her death, and no authority has publicly connected her breast surgery to the death.
