São Paulo Fashion Week confirmed Soares' death yesterday on Twitter stating:

"We're sorry for his loss and send our deepest condolences to Tales' family."

 

Soares' modelling agency Base MGT has since issued a statement denying that drugs played any part in the 26-year-old's death.

The cause of death has yet to be determined.
