The Civil Police confirmed the discovery of the body, at around 10pm, and stated that the body was sent to the Legal Medical Institute to undergo necropsy and identification examinations.
According to the fire department, a man approximately 1.7m tall entered Pampulha Lagoon, when he was unable to swim and remained submerged for approximately 10 minutes.
In a statement, firefighters stated that a security guard who worked nearby said that three individuals were stealing at an event taking place there when the three escaped by jumping into the lagoon.
