THE body of a second influencer has been found washed up on a beach after a yacht party on the “Devil’s Throat” coastline ended in tragedy.
The body of Aline Tamara, 37, was found on Itaquitanduva Beach in Brazil just days after rescuers recovered the body of her pal Beatriz Tavares da Silva Faria, 27.
A desperate search for the two women has been underway since last week when their boat capsized in the rough seas on the coast of Sao Paulo.
The body of Aline was found on the beach by rescuers from the Maritime Firefighters Group on Friday morning.
Her devastated mum told local media that she had spoken to her daughter moments before the accident saying: “Mum, I’m going out with a friend, we’re going to go out on a boat and I’ll be home soon.”
Aline had posted photographs on social media showing her and pals on the luxury yacht near Sao Vicente on 29 September, shortly before the tragedy.
Vanessa Audrey da Silva, Camila Alves de Carvalho, Daniel Gonçalves Ferreira, Gabriela Santos Lima and Natan Cardoso Soares da Silva – who were also on the vessel — were rescued shortly after the accident.
Aline had posted photographs on social media showing her and pals on the luxury yacht near Sao Vicente on 29th September, shortly before the tragedy.
The authorities are still investigating what exactly caused the tragedy, with survivor Camila Alves, 20, telling local media that they were at a birthday party on a yacht near Guaruja.
But when things began to wind down and it was time to return, the partygoers split into two smaller vessels and headed back to shore.
One of the two smaller vessels, a rented speedboat, was suddenly hit by a large wave that caused it to sink.
Camila said: “We could see that we wouldn’t be able to hold on for long, we were kicking our feet and swallowing a lot of water.
“Our solution was to throw ourselves on the rocks to try to hold on and save ourselves.”
Another survivor, named as Vanessa Audrey, 35, said that they had held out hope of finding Aline alive.
The other survivors from the sunk vessel were Daniel Goncalves Ferreira, 22, Gabriela Santos Lima and Nathan Cardoso Soares da Silva.
Vanessa said shortly after the incident: “Five people managed to reach that rock, and she (Aline) was wearing a vest. So, the hope was that she survived.”
Camila told her followers on social media that no one had been drinking, saying: “No one was drunk or on drugs on the boat. It was an accident. The truth will come out eventually.”
Wearing a bandage, she said that everyone involved had been badly hurt. She also said that neither of the women who died were wearing life jackets.
The Brazilian Navy said in a statement that they had opened an investigation into the incident, adding: “It is worth noting that there was no record of water pollution resulting from the sinking of the vessel.”
