On July 14, the Solar Hotel shared a statement through social media, saying that the facility is cooperating with the investigation.

We reaffirm our commitment to fully cooperating with the competent authorities for the proper clarification of the events,” the hotel wrote in a translated message on Instagram. “Our thoughts and condolences are with Ayres Sasaki’s family and friends at this difficult time.”
In addition to being a singer, Sasaki was also a newly married architect and urban planner. He is survived by his wife id 11 months, Mariana.
On her Instagram Story, Sasaki’s spouse shared her thanks for the support she’s been receiving following her husband’s untimely passing.
“I would like to thank you for every message of affection and comfort, for every prayer during this difficult time that we are going through,” Mariana wrote, per Istoé Gente. “I haven’t been able to read all the messages yet, but as I feel better, I will respond to each one. Thank you.”
