Clauvino da Silva, 42, was serving a decades-long sentence when he was caught trying to break out of jail last Saturday, disguised as his daughter.
He was caught wearing an eerie plastic mask, a long black wig and women's clothes, including a bra and returned to prison.
A video, released by prison authorities, in which he slowly removes his surreal disguise went viral, shining a light on Brazil's longstanding struggle with its violent, overcrowded prison system, the world's third largest.
On Tuesday, however, in a gruesome twist, Rio prison officials said Silva had been found dead in his cell in a high-security unit in the state's Bangu prison complex.

It was interesting, anyway.
I wonder if they returned him to his cell dressed as a girl, he would def get a lot of attention
Now we know why he was trying to escape.
Yeah he was getting raped.
Escape or suicide only way out.
Gee, that’s too bad.
What’s for lunch?
L
People will be wearing these kind of masks in the future to escape facial recognition software.
NOW he identifies as a dead girl.
Wow... that mask was something else!
Keep in mind that Brazil is a SOCIALLY CONSERVATIVE society, so they don’t take highly to people who flout an ‘alternative sexual identity’ in public, as this poor, confused, man did.
“with jailed kingpins running their empires via smuggled cellphones.”
seems like installation of some frequency jammers would solve that problem in one fell swoop ...
WHAT?? Brazil is SOCIALLY CONSERVATIVE?? LOL!
My thought exactly, but iI’ve become pretty jaded and just chuckle to myself.
Yea, I’m kind of guessing, but I suspect that Drag Queen Story Time Hours would be met with a bit more ‘resistance’ there than here.
But then the prison guards and wardens wouldn’t have a fat retirement plan from all the bribes to look the other way...
I’ll give him an ‘A’ for effort and an ‘F’ for results.
What happened to the daughter? If she went in to visit...and he came out dressed like her...where did she go?
Not all cultures are equal .
So when was he scheduled to testify against Hillary?
