Marília Mendonça's room is still intact: "I haven't touched anything" Dona Ruth, the singer's mother, says the artist's clothes are still in the closet, six months after her death By Agência O Globo |05/05/2022 19:48 Reproduction Marília Mendonça died six months ago The room of singer Marília Mendonça - who died exactly six months ago in a plane crash - is still intact, with the objects in the same place where she had left them. Ruth Moreira, the singer's mother, plans to hold a charity bazaar with some of her daughter's clothes, but she hasn't yet managed to go through the pieces that the artist kept in a closet at home. The checkered outfit that Marília was wearing on the day the accident happened is stored in a bag in one of the closets in her bedroom. The garment is marked with tears and oil stains. "I haven't touched anything," says Ruth. The family has also not yet opened the diary found with Marília on the plane. The artist used the notebook to draft unpublished songs. "We haven't opened it yet. But there's certainly a lot in there. A lot of personal stuff, and a lot of lyrics. We're preserving it so that we can open it when the time is right. We don't know when we'll have the chest and the head to open this notebook," João Gustavo, Marília Mendonça's brother, told GLOBO in December. Since she was a teenager, Marília had a habit of collecting notebooks. There are several of them in the singer's bedroom. On the bedside table is the book "Outside the curve: the secrets of Brazil's great investors and what you can learn from them", organized by Pierre Moreau, Florian Bartunek and Giuliana Napolitano. Other titles the singer was reading were biographies of Renato Russo, Frida Khalo and Rita Lee, as well as "O lado bom da vida", by author Matthew Quick, and "Todos vícios", by Maitê Proença.
