A family friend called Cintia Hilsendeger posted a message on the actor’s Instagram page confirming his demise:
“It is with great regret that we inform you that Jeff was found dead on 05/22/2023,”
The 44-year-old’s body was reportedly found chained and packed into a wooden chest that had been covered with concrete and buried six feet beneath the backyard of a home in the Campo Grande area, according to the authorities, G1 said.
