Bodybuilding family Raphael Casanova, 38 years old, in a battle against time. They must be able to carry out all the bureaucratic procedures so that the body of the boy, who died of chickenpox in Chile, is delivered to Brazil by the 23rd of next month – the deadline set by the hospital where Rafael died, and where his body is at the moment.
Juliana Casanova, Raphael’s sister, 31, says that the hospital does not allow the removal of the body without the presence of a legal representative of the brother, that is, a relative. Then Juliana explains that they have created a Kitty online To cover the costs of renting a funeral home in Chile to move the body.
“Our intention was for someone to go there. In that case, my mom and I would go, but the costs would be much more expensive than bringing it in.” Land.
For the funeral home to remove the body from the hospital, a power of attorney is still required, which runs into another difficulty: language. “There is another problem in our life because of this. Today we went to some registry office, and we found out that not only any registry office does this. Because the power of attorney must be apostate and it still has to be translated,” Juliana explains.
With so much information that Juliana and her family have to deal with, feeling the pain of grief is almost impossible. “We still can’t sit still, cry, we don’t have it. We don’t have time to stay at home suffering. Right now, time is our enemy,” the bodybuilder’s sister vented.

Juliana told Land That the brother’s chickenpox virus is not as common as we know it, which “can be transmitted to children.” “The chickenpox he had was rare and could be fatal,” he said.
Rafael Casanova was first diagnosed with chickenpox in January this year. With skin lesions, the bodybuilder thought he might have monkeypox and sought medical help. In the hospital, he was instructed to undergo home treatment with medication.
“He was isolated this past January, on medication, and then he started feeling better, the wounds were gone, and he was back to his normal, active life. He was back in the gym and everything,” his sister recalls.
Months later, in late March or early April, Rafael felt bad again. “He went to the hospital, the doctor examined him and said he had a normal virus. Over time it got worse. Until he felt sick and fell in the street.”
On that day, Raphael was taken by people who were passing him to the hospital, and again, he was sent home, where he was supposed to be treated. Only days later, after speaking to his mother on the phone saying that he was very weak and “dying little by little”, Raphael was taken to the hospital. At the time, a friend, at his sister Juliana’s request, went to take him back to a health unit, but ended up not resisting.
