Throughout most of his life Heringer struggled with depression. On March 7, 2018, three weeks prior to his 30th birthday, he was found dead near his apartment in Copacabana; his death was ruled by the police as a suicide by autodefenestration. On June 9, 2018, his publisher Companhia das Letras announced that, as a tribute to him, they would re-issue all of his works; they had already re-published his first novel Glória some months prior, and a complete anthology of his poems was originally announced to be released in 2019. In one of his final interviews, from October 2017, he stated that he was working on a third novel, scheduled to be published in 2018 and inspired by his travels across South America, India and Indonesia, but it is unknown if he was able to finish it prior to his death.

Heringer's debut work, the poetry anthology Automatógrafo, was released through 7Letras in 2011. The following year, he published the critically acclaimed novel Glória, about a "plastic artist searching for an impossible woman", for which he received the prestigious Prêmio Jabuti in 2013. Heringer's second novel, O Amor dos Homens Avulsos, came out in 2016 through Companhia das Letras, and tells the story "of two boys who fall in love with each other, but have their passion interrupted by a tragedy"; it was shortlisted for the Prêmio Rio de Literatura, the São Paulo Prize for Literature and the Prêmio Oceanos. He claims that the fictional neighborhood in which the novel takes place was inspired by the real-life neighborhood of Del Castilho in Rio de Janeiro, where he used to visit his grandmother when he was a kid.

Heringer's final published work was a translation to Portuguese of Loung Ung's 2000 memoir First They Killed My Father, which came out in Brazil in 2017 through HarperCollins.
