A spokeswoman for the Pernambuco state court in the city of Recife confirmed that Judge Ildete Verissimo de Lima ordered the release of Rodrigues. The judge wrote in the ruling that police informed the court that “the detention of the suspect was no longer needed” as the investigation “excludes the possibility of murder.”
“The victim … committed suicide by hanging,” Lima’s ruling read.
Fabrizio said the family is getting a second autopsy of Gatti, who was laid to rest in a Montreal-area mausoleum July 20.
“We’re going to get to the bottom of it,” he said.
Fabrizio said the family is pleading for Canadian authorities to get involved to help them find out the truth.
He said officials have told them they can’t intervene unless asked to do so by Brazilian investigators, who have so far not done so.
Gatti met Rodrigues at a strip club in New Jersey where she worked as an exotic dancer. They moved back to Canada in 2007 and shortly thereafter their relationship degenerated, those close to them say.
