Do you have any reasons to suspect he was killed? The article says:

> He was found "lying down in the hammock, and ornamented [with macaw feathers] as if waiting for death". There were no signs of violence or any other disturbance before his corpse had been discovered by FUNAI.

It doesn't seem like he was killed, or at least the article doesn't mention it. He may have poisoned himself (if found ornamented)? Very sad anyway.

Interesting, from the summary it sounded like gunmen were the issue

> After surviving a further attack by armed ranchers in 2009, he was found dead in his home in August 2022.

To be fair to you, that sentence was very awkwardly phrased. Considering that’s a 13 year gap, they should really be 2 separate sentences.

I tried separating the sentences but an editor reverted my change.
