They informed the police that he had not used such substances for at least five months and had cleared health tests before undergoing the procedure.

They also urged fans to remember him with respect. Take a look at the post The tattoo studio involved issued a statement detailing the precautions taken before the procedure. They explained that Godoi’s tattoo, a back closure, required general anaesthesia, sedation, and intubation. The studio hired a private hospital and a certified anaesthesiolog to ensure safety. “Blood tests were requested beforehand, which did not indicate any explicit risk [for] performing the procedure,” the statement said. The studio further clarified, “What happened is that at the beginning of the sedation and intubation, he had a cardiorespiratory arrest, which occurred before they even started tattooing him, which was quickly verified, and a cardiolog was called to try to revive him, unfortunately without success.” Revitalite Day Hospital also released a statement dancing itself from the tattoo procedure. They explained that their role was limited to providing an operating room and the necessary equipment, which met all required safety standards. They stated that their medical staff was not involved in the procedure until the cardiac incident occurred. The hospital assured full cooperation with authorities and confirmed they were providing all relevant documents to aid the ongoing investigation.
