The Maritime Fire Brigade (GBMar) found the body of Aline Tamara Moreira de Amorim, aged 37, one of the two missing in the sinking of a small vessel in São Vicente, on the coast of São Paulo, close to the “Devil’s Throat”, this Friday morning (4), at Praia de Itaquitanduva (SP). The woman’s family recognized her body and are awaiting expertise from the IML.
As a result, all seven victims of the accident were located and the search was ended.
According to GBMar, the team was called to identify a body stranded between beaches 1 and 2 of Parque Xixova, on the coast of São Paulo. After the incident, the vessels moved to the location and confirmed the existence of the body.
However, because the location was difficult to access, the team transported the body to Gonzaguinha beach (SP) so that legal measures could be taken and the body could be sent to the IML.
Shipwreck
The wreck occurred last Sunday night (29). The vessel carried seven people, five women and two men. Of the passengers, two men and three women were rescued. Last Wednesday (2), the body of Beatriz Tavares da Silva, 27 years old, one of the two missing in the wreck, was found.
The search for the missing began shortly after the accident and was resumed daily until today, to try to locate the two victims who were missing, but who have since been found.
One of the survivors, student Camila Alves, 20, said in a video posted on her social network that the boat’s occupants were not wearing vests. “When the boat capsized, no one was wearing a vest. And none of the girls knew how to swim”, he reported.
“I don’t know how to swim. Bia (Beatriz, the missing woman whose body was found) and Vanessa (Audrey, survivor) didn’t know how to swim. When the boat capsized, the boat had three life jackets and two gallons of gasoline. Everyone grabbed hold and everyone tried to save their lives,” he said.
