Da Silva, 25, formerly of Vasco, who had been playing for second division team Estacio de Sa Soccer Club, died in hospital last night in Rio de Janeiro.
Thiago died six days after he was kidnapped, tortured and finally mortally wounded by a firearm attack by three men in a football field.
According to reports from the local police, the instigator of the crime is da Silva’s former girlfriend.
Before he passed away, da Silva was able to tell the police that he had fallen into a trap last Thursday evening, shortly after discussing the end of his relationship with his girlfriend, Alyne Padula.
The former Vasco player was overwhelmed by three people (including a member of the military police), all of whom are friends of the girl's aunt.
He was handcuffed, beaten and tortured. When he tried to flee he was hit by three bullets.
Both the former girlfriend and her aunt, Marcia Padula Viana, were arrested on Sunday as instigators of the crime, and accused of hiring the assassins to kill da Silva.
