The body of Hilde Lynn Helphenstein, known online as Jerry Gogosian, was discovered at the Rosewood Sao Paulo on Sunday by her plastic surgeon, according to reports. Her death is being treated as suspicious. On Saturday, a complaint was filed against Hilde and friends for their drunken antics in one of the hotel's restaurants, according to a police report cited by Brazilian media site Globo.  The report said she and her friends made 'intimate demonstrations in public that evolved into a situation of partial exposure of the body, causing embarrassment to other guests.' The same night as Helphenstein was accused of the inappropriate behavior, she uploaded to Instagram a short speech that appeared to not entirely make sense, seeming to slur at moments.  She offered advice to her 152,000 followers noting that they should 'let the rich woman inside of you fly.' Helphenstein went on to encourage her viewers to get their make up done while wearing a shawl and invent 'things that you're worried about.'
