Timeline
On 7 January 2011 he was found castrated and bludgeoned to death in a New York City hotel. The main suspect in his death was his boyfriend, 21-year-old male model Renato Seabra, who had been a contestant on the Portuguese television modeling-themed reality show À Procura do Sonho (PT) (SIC). On 10 January 2011 Renato Seabra was charged with second-degree murder by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) after confessing to the killing of Castro. He was sentenced to 25 years to life on 21 December 2012.
Born in Moçâmedes, Angola during the time period that it was a Portuguese colony, Castro had, during his childhood, a great interest in works of poetry. He moved to Luanda to become a reporter when he was 15. During his life, he became a "high-profile public figure as a TV personality" in Portugal, who had worked in the media for 35 years covering gossip items about musicians, actors and celebrities, having gained further popularity because of his public coming out as a homosexual to the country and "revealing the feminine side of his personality". By 2011, the year of his death, he was dating 21-year-old male model Renato Seabra, who had been a contestant on the Portuguese television modeling-themed reality show À Procura do Sonho.
Renato Seabra was transferred on 10 January 2011 to the prison section of the Bellevue Hospital Center, while his case was handed over to the New York County District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, Jr. On 21 December 2012 a Manhattan judge gave the maximum sentence of 25 years to life to Seabra. As of January 2013, Seabra was given the NYSDOCCS ID number 13A0056 and was imprisoned in the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York. Meanwhile, Castro's sisters spread his ashes in New York City Subway tunnels under Broadway, as was his preference.
Castro was posthumously shown on the Portuguese television TVI's program Depois da Vida (After Life), a paranormal-related show where a British female medium, Anne Germain, claims she can have a conversation with dead people, that had been filmed in October 2010. During the show broadcast on 21 January 2011, Castro was allegedly "visited" by old drag queen friend José Centúrio de Almeida (stage name: Ruth Bryden), among other people he had known. The episode was originally delayed in airing due to complaints, but the producers decided to air the episode anyway. Afterwards, four further complaints were made to the Entidade Reguladora para a Comunicação Social (ERC), which were then sent to the board's legal department.
