g1 contacted Itamaraty to confirm whether Romildo is one of the deaths of Brazilians already identified by the ministry.
In a statement, Itamaraty reported that due to the right to privacy and in compliance with the provisions of the Access to Information Law and decree 7,724/2012, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not disclose or confirm personal information of citizens who request consular services nor does it provide details about the assistance provided to Brazilians.
On Wednesday, the federal government confirmed the death of two Brazilians, a man and a woman, whose identities were not revealed.
"The MRE informs, with great regret, the death of a citizen and a Brazilian citizen as a result of the earthquakes that hit Venezuela. The MRE reports that it is providing consular assistance to the families of the victims."

Romildo's family in Brazil learned what had happened unexpectedly. His sister saw a television report about the earthquake in Venezuela and tried to contact the couple.
Initially, she was unable to reach them because her cell phone had been lost during the disaster. Hours later, Carlha managed to reestablish contact and told what had happened.
Since then, relatives have faced difficulties in bringing Romildo's body to Brazil. According to the family, they sought out the Consulate to receive guidance on the transfer, but have not yet received a definitive answer.
As of Friday (26), the family had also not received the death certificate.
"We still have no response. It is very desperate because we want to bring my uncle, mainly to hold a dignified wake for him. They keep passing the contact information to each other", reported the niece.
