In the video, Soares is seen sashaying down the catwalk for fashion brand Ocksa on Saturday during Sao Paulo’s Fashion Week. Moments later, he collapsed. He was attended to on the catwalk before being taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Doctors have revealed that he may have died from an undiagnosed condition that he had from birth. His agent Rogério Campaneli said:
“Everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. Doctors suspect that Tales might have had a congenital problem. From videos, they believe he died on the catwalk. It was all so fast: he kissed a friend behind the scenes who was following him, walked out confidently as usual, then suddenly stumbled, lost his footing and fell.”
Below is the video of Tales’ final parade before he passed on at the age of 26.
