SBT’s reality show confectionery vice-champion died at age 27, and his family was left without the main source of income
The body of pastry chef Nathan Santos was buried in the late afternoon of Thursday (8) at Maceió Memorial Cemetery, in the capital of Alagoas.
He died the day before, at the age of 27, of cardiopulmonary arrest after a heightened spike of anxiety. He suffered from depression and had recurrent bouts of stress.
The family used almost all of the money they had for treatment and had to ask for donations to pay for the wake and burial.
Even weakened, Nathan remained tied to the faith, following the principles of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
In December 2021, he finished in 2nd place in the final of the seventh season of the reality show “Bake Off Brasil”, on SBT. He distinguished himself for his talent in assembling tall decorated cakes.
Born into a poor family, he sold sweets to help around the house. This is where my passion for pastry was born. He managed to open his own studio and hired several relatives in the company.
In ‘Bake Off Brasil’ he abandoned the competition to deal with “personal problems”. Other participants commented backstage that the young footballer was experiencing a moment of extreme emotional fragility.
Weeks later, he was able to return to the program in the repechage test. Charismatic and talented, he has gained a large following on social media. He had 200,000 followers on Instagram.
Third place in last year’s edition, Julio Cepe posted a video to honor his friend. “Nathan was one of the most generous people he ever met,” he says.
“He has never withheld help from anyone. Even when the person reportedly didn’t like her, she always helped. And I wasn’t expecting anything in return … I could quote hundreds of times that he took a back seat to help someone else. “
