(Security): A Woman Falls to Death during Selfie on top of Waterfall closed to the Public

A young lady, Amanda Franco dos Santos, 26, has died during selfie after sneaking to the top of a waterfall that was closed to the public. She died after falling from the top of the Corupa Waterfall Route located in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, and was washed downstream.

It was reported that despite the location being closed to visitors on Sunday, October 30, 2022, Franco dos Santos, from the Brazilian city of Mafra, went to visit the area. She and her two friends were not willing to give up on a photoshoot for their Instagram, so they decided to use an alternative route to get to the waterfall.

Not long after, the two friends called the police to report that Franco dos Santos had disappeared at around 4.50pm. Crews from the local Volunteer Fire Department immediately rushed to the scene following the call. They went on to initiate a search throughout the whole waterfall route. But she was not found on the first day of search.

Sadly, Franco dos Santos' body was only found after it had washed through several of the cascades. Speaking about the tragedy, her aunt said: "My dear niece, may Jesus welcome you with open arms and watch over us from heaven, nostalgia is already hitting."

Amanda's funeral took place at the Municipal Cemetery in the city of Mafra on 1st November, 2022.
