Maria also reported that she questioned employees at Areolino de Abreu Hospital about what had happened. According to her, she was informed that José de Ribamar had been involved in a fight in the pavilion where he was hospitalized.

The victim's family lawyer, Italo Cavalcanti Souza, told TV Clube that the victim was hospitalized in a ward considered to be quieter at the psychiatric hospital. According to him, witnesses reported that Ribamar had been attacked during a leisure activity after integrating patients from different pavilions.

"When we found out about the worsening of the situation, we went deeper into the case to find out what really happened. What was reported to us is that it was possibly after mixing people from different wards. As the hospital is psychiatric and we know that there are some disturbances that induce violence in people, these people end up being separated. Mr. José de Ribamar was in a ward with more peaceful people, and in that moment of leisure where people from other wards were mixed together, another person attacked him with very violent punches," he said. the lawyer.
