But firefighters have now recovered her body from the Igaratá dam near São Paulo.
Her body was identified at the scene by her mother.
While her death was initially reported as an accident, it has now been registered as “suspicious”, according to cops.
Nascimento had been with two other friends on the jet ski trip, according to reports.
While the both gave statements to police, their accounts contradicted each other, the MailOnline has reported.
Security footage from a nearby property is currently being reviewed amid the probe.
Best friend Gabrielle Reis told local media that Nascimento had been trying to convince her to join them.
She said: “All our close friends pleaded with her not to go, since none of us could go along.
“But she spent the whole week nagging us, saying, ‘come on, come on.’ In the end, she went anyway.”
Nascimento’s friend further told reporters that the influencer was a “naïve” person.
“We fought because of the way she was living her life, living it so intensely,” she said.
“I didn’t want to go because I have other goals with God.”
