A 13-year-old girl has died five days after her seven-year-old brother died from a poisoned Easter egg. <\/a><\/p>\n

Evelyn Silva died on Monday at Brazil\u2019s Imperatriz Municipal Hospital where she has been hospitalised since Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Her cause of death was caused by a vascular shock that was linked to multiple organ failure. <\/p>\n

The hospital said: \u2018Unfortunately, the clinical condition showed serious and rapid deterioration without responding to treatment.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Evelyn, her brother Luis and their mother Miriam, 36, each had a piece of the chocolate egg after it was dropped off at their home in Imperatriz. <\/p>\n

The eggs were inside a plastic tray with a note reading: \u2018With love, to Miriam Lira. Happy Easter!!\u2019 <\/p>\n

Luis was found unresponsive with his father Rafael desperately administering CPR. <\/p>\n

But he went into cardiac arrest and died at 4am last Thursday. <\/p>\n

Miriam remains under observation in hospital and is in a stable condition. <\/p>\n

Police have arrested Rafael\u2019s ex-wife Jord\u00e9lia Pereira, who admitted to purchasing the chocolate but denied lacing them with poison. <\/p>\n

\u2018The evidence suggests that the crime was motivated by revenge, by jealousy, given that the author\u2019s ex-husband is the current partner or boyfriend of the victim, who was poisoned along with her two children,\u2019 said Maranh\u00e3o\u2019s Department of Security Secretary, Maur\u00edcio Martins said, as quoted by Brazilian news outlet G1.<\/p>\n

At the counter, she is seen holding a box of luxury mini\u00a0Easter\u00a0eggs before paying with a credit card.<\/p>\n
