A YouTuber has taken his life amid an investigation into images of child abuse in Brazil.
Paulo Cezar Goulart Siqueira, known as PC Siqueira to his two million subscribers, died on Wednesday afternoon, December 27, at the age of 37.
It is believed that the social media performer was found dead by his ex-girlfriend, Maria Watanabe, in his Sao Paulo apartment.
According to local media reports, the distressed ex-partner begged for neighbours to help her as they called the police.
Coroners have recorded his death as a suicide and it came just two days after he posted a heartfelt message on Instagram.
