Brazilian Actor Jefferson Machado Found Dead Inside Buried Trunk.

Brazilian soap-opera actor Jefferson Machado, who had been missing for nearly five months, was found dead in a trunk buried in the backyard of a home in Rio de Janeiro. The 44-year-old actor was discovered bound and stuffed inside a wooden chest, which had been encased in concrete. Authorities identified the body using fingerprints and confirmed that he was strangled. Police are currently investigating a man who had rented the property and reportedly knew Machado. The actor's disappearance had been reported in February after his eight dogs were found abandoned at his home.
