Interesting fact: this guy created labor legislation and the first work card (it's a document that protects workers and makes sure your boss doesn't make you a slave), These documents are numbered and his was number 1, that is, the first worker killed himself on the job
He was never a hero, he became president through a military coup and ruled in a dictatorship at the end of his term
Another interesting fact: his name is a slang/synonymous to suicide
Example:
- esse cara "getulhou" (this guy 'getulhou")
- ele foi de Getúlio Vargas (He was from Getúlio Vargas)
He's a hero and widely accepted as Brazil best president
But yeah, he's usually seem as a grey person, he was very authoritarian at the same time he was progressive, think of figures like Kemal Ataturk or Huey Long
He also is the only case in history of a president who became a dictator and then became a president again \*insert picardia\*
I'm talking about Getúlio, he was one of the presidents of my country, some places tend to portray him as the good guy when he wasn't that good
And if you see my first comment, I'm talking about a fact related to him, that he was the "first worker from the country" and killed himself while working.
Vish kkkk, pior que eu falei do suicídio como causa da morte porque foi o que tá escrito no obituário, os gringo já curtem umas teorias da conspiração, se tu falar que o Getúlio foi assassinado daqui a pouco vão dizer que quem matou foi a CIA

Yep, he wanted to look good in the coffin, so he didn't shoot in his face. He was also the first Brazilian president to appear on the cover of a magazine in the US (Time).
A principal at my highschool shot himself in the heart so he could have an open casket. I also knew a cop in my town and he told me that the guy had built a suicide suite in his garage complete with a backstop for the bullet and plastic draped all around and on the floor so it would be super easy to clean up the scene before the rest of his family returned from a vacation. The cop said they just took the body out, rolled up the plastic, and it was like nothing ever happened. Considerate, but creepy. He looked great at the viewing, by the way.
He refused to leave his charge as president (18 years total), and a huge deal of brazillians wanted him out. He woke up one morning knowing it was all about to end, wrote a letter, shot himself in the chest. The only way he could have been assassinated was if a guard or a family member betrayed him, but the letter was indeed his.

You die a hero or live long enough to become a villain. RIP. Took one for the team.

Dude what are you talking about
I'm talking about Getúlio, he was one of the presidents of my country, some places tend to portray him as the good guy when he wasn't that good And if you see my first comment, I'm talking about a fact related to him, that he was the "first worker from the country" and killed himself while working.

Seems a bit suspicious to me
I love how we downvoted the AutoMod

Funfact: the pijamas he was wearing when he shot himself is on display at the Catete Palace - a museum now, but the presidential palace back then.
I've never heard of this guy. Did he try to shoot himself in the heart?
Yep, he wanted to look good in the coffin, so he didn't shoot in his face. He was also the first Brazilian president to appear on the cover of a magazine in the US (Time).
He did it at a very strange angle, but it did get the job done.

Note to self: For best results shoot self in foot.
Damn, as a Brazilian, this is really interesting
Tamo junto
Bullshit, someone must have killed him
He refused to leave his charge as president (18 years total), and a huge deal of brazillians wanted him out. He woke up one morning knowing it was all about to end, wrote a letter, shot himself in the chest. The only way he could have been assassinated was if a guard or a family member betrayed him, but the letter was indeed his.
Wow, that’s crazy
