The recent death of Brazilian model and influencer Kauana Bilhar, 26, remains under intense investigation in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Local authorities do not rule out any possibility, working with the hypotheses of feminicide, homicide with passion or suicide. The young woman lost her life after falling from the 29th floor of the building where she lived, in a case that keeps family and friends searching for answers.
Dubai Police maintain three lines of investigation into the case
Dubai authorities continue to analyze the facts that led to the fatal fall of Kauana Billiards. Since the incident, police have treated what happened as a mystery, without confirming or ruling out any scenario. The complexity of the case lies in the different motivations that could be behind each of the three hypotheses considered, requiring a thorough investigation.
Kauana lived with her partner, Bárbara, in the apartment where she fell. Bárbara was detained shortly after the incident, a standard procedure for cases of suspicious death, and released the following day. She underwent toxicological tests and gave a statement to the authorities, collaborating with the investigations.
The mother’s speech and the model’s battle with depression
Darla Bilhar, Kauana’s mother, who lives in Itajaí, on the North Coast of Santa Catarina, expressed the need to await the official results of the investigation. She received the shocking news of her daughter’s death through a call made by Kauana’s own partner, just hours after the tragedy. The influencer’s mother emphasized that she does not intend to attribute responsibility before having concrete evidence.
In a moving statement, Darla revealed that her daughter was suffering from depression and was undergoing medical treatment. The model was taking medication for the condition, and her mother raised the possibility of an adverse reaction. “She was very depressed. Even when she came in April, I took her for a consultation. She was taking her medication. But I think this medication got into her system,” said Darla.
Troubled relationship: jealousy and arguments between Kauana and her partner
The relationship between Kauana Bilhar and Bárbara, which had started about three months ago, was, according to reports from friends and her own mother, marked by conflicts. A friend of the model, whose identity was not revealed, stated that there was mutual jealousy between the two. He mentioned that, in the weeks before the incident, Kauana’s partner even considered hiring a security guard to accompany her, which would have made the model apprehensive.
Darla Bilhar confirmed the information about frequent arguments, but highlighted that, despite the friction, the fights were followed by quick reconciliations. The mother described the pattern of back and forth in the relationship. “The relationship was troubled, I’m not going to lie to you. They fought and everything, but they fought just like they fought now, in a little while everything would be fine, understand?”, she said.
In an audio sent by Bárbara shortly after Kauana’s death, the companion made a request for help to a friend and narrated her version of the events to the authorities. In the recording, she expressed despair and stated that Kauana had thrown herself, mentioning that the model was “tired of the world” and that she wanted to “stay with her father”. This audio is one of the crucial elements being analyzed by the police.
Kauana Bilhar’s family faces attacks on social media during mourning
While awaiting the conclusions of the investigation, Kauana Bilhar’s family has been the target of attacks and speculation on social media. The model’s mother expressed her outrage at the situation, defending her daughter’s memory and promising to seek legal redress against those responsible for the offensive comments. “She wasn’t a criminal, she wasn’t a malicious person, she wasn’t anything like that to be attacked like that”, said Darla.
The repercussion of the case, with personal details being exposed and discussed publicly, adds a layer of pain and stress to the family’s grieving process. Online pressure and judgment undermine the family’s ability to deal with the tragedy in a private and dignified way, making the period even more difficult.
Key aspects of the ongoing investigation in Dubai
The Dubai police are using various resources to elucidate the circumstances of the young woman’s death. Detailed analysis of evidence is essential to concluding the case.
- Expertise in the apartment:A specialized team carried out a thorough examination at the scene of the incident, the apartment where Kauana and Bárbara lived.
- Security camera review:Images from the building’s security cameras are being carefully reviewed to verify movement and events before the fall.
- Companion’s statement:Bárbara, Kauana’s companion, was interviewed by authorities and underwent toxicological tests, as part of the investigative protocols.
- Testimonials and history:Other people who lived with the model or had knowledge of her relationship and mental health status are also being contacted.
- Digital evidence collection:Electronic devices can be examined in search of messages, calls or other data relevant to the investigation.
Search for answers and farewell rite in a distant setting
Darla Bilhar flew to Dubai to closely monitor the investigations and continue with the necessary procedures. One of the main objectives of the trip is to arrange the transfer of the daughter’s ashes to Brazil. According to her mother, cremation fulfills an old wish expressed by Kauana, who in life expressed the desire not to have a traditional wake. “Mom, I’m not going to die old, I’m going to die young and beautiful. And I’ll tell you one thing, I don’t want a wake, I want to be cremated”, the young woman reportedly said on one occasion.
The United Arab Emirates authorities have not yet released a conclusion on the case. The investigation continues to determine whether Kauana Bilhar’s death was the result of an action by third parties or whether it was the victim’s own initiative, keeping the outcome open and the mystery surrounding the case.
