The ‘influencers’ Aline Tamara Moreira de Amorim, 37 years old; and Beatriz Tavares da Silva Faria, 27, died after a small overloaded boat capsized on Sunday, September 29, in a dangerous area known as ‘the Devil’s Throat’, on the coast of São Vicente, in Brazil.
Although the incident was recorded weeks ago, it was not until the last hours that details of the incident were revealed, both what happened before, during and after it.

According to information from various media outlets, the content creators were enjoying a party with some friends on the day of the accident, which was caused by the impact of a wave.
Although the boat was designed for five people, six young people finally got on it to enter the sea and, although it is an important safety measure, the women refused to wear life jackets.
The above, according to what was reported, was because they “hindered their tanning” and “ruined their selfies (photos).”
Thus, after a wave hit the boat, causing it to sink rapidly, the young women – who did not know how to swim – could not save themselves, contrary to other people who could when using said object.

Aline Tamara Moreira de Amorim, mother of a girl whose body used to appear on social networks, was found dead a week after the accident, according to information portals.
Meanwhile, the body of Beatriz Tavares da Silva Faria, a model and CrossFit trainer, was recovered days after the incident.
Shipwreck where influencers drowned
Regarding the incident, the police commissioner of São Vicente, Marcos Alexandre Alfino, stated that the recklessness of Aline and Beatriz, as well as that of the captain of the boat, whose identity is unknown, was a determining factor in what happened.
On the other hand, the São Paulo Port Authority continues to investigate to determine if there was negligence in the handling of the vessel.
However, they face challenges in identifying the safety conditions under which the boat operated because the boat’s documentation was lost during the shipwreck.
