Maria Maleh, a young entrepreneur and former actress, was found dead in her home last week. Although the manner of death is not yet known, there have been indications that she was not being taken care of as she should have been. Maria Maleh had was trying to live a normal life after her recent divorce from Romulo Valentino. She had moved to Brazil to run her own business and had recently bought a house in nearby Santa Maria, claiming that she would be in constant contact with her former husband.
Her ex-husband claims that Maria Maleh had always tried to hide the fact that she was born in Colombia as that made her seem younger than she actually was. The truth was that Maria Maleh’s nationality was American and had lived in the States for several years. However, there is no record of Maria Maleh ever telling anyone of her national origin or age. Despite this, there are several indicators that lend weight to the theory that Maria Maleh was not how she should have been: tall for her age, a foreigner in a foreign land, and trying to hide from her husband. Was Maria Maleh really cheating on her husband?
There are several theories about what led Maria Maleh, who was forty years old at the time of her death, to end her life. Some say that she committed suicide because of the depression that comes with the end of a marriage; others say that she was murdered by an associate of her husband. Whomever killed Maria Maleh, in whatever way they chose, got away with it: by manipulating the press into publishing false information, or by covering her death up, as any detective will tell you. In order to really find out who killed Maria Maleh, her ex-husband says he will hire a private investigator. Whatever the reason, we are certain that Maria Maleh’s death will not be solved soon, and her death will lie among the list of the many other tragedies that hit Brazilian families this year.
