They ruined their selfies: women drowned after refusing life jackets (3 photos)

Aline, who could not swim, shared her latest pictures on social media, where she can be seen sitting in a bikini on board the ill-fated boat.





Two social media stars, Aline Tamara Moreira de Amorim, 37, and Beatriz Tavares da Silva Faria, 27, drowned during a party on a yacht because they refused to wear life jackets, which ruined their selfies. A boat carrying victims capsized near a dangerous stretch of coast known as the "Devil's Throat" in Brazil.

Almost a month after the tragic incident, police discovered that a huge wave had washed over the rescue boat. According to Commissioner Marcos Alexandre Alfino of the São Vincente station, the influential people refused to put on life jackets because they were taking photos and did not want to spoil the shot.

Aline, who could not swim, shared her last photos on social media: in the frame, you can see her sitting in a bikini on board the ill-fated boat.



The unnamed captain of the ship, one of the five rescued people, gave police a detailed interview about the accident and said that he had to bring six victims to shore, although the maximum allowed passenger capacity on board is five.

Ultimately, when a huge wave hit the ship on September 2, it was too heavy to withstand the impact and began to sink. The captain assured police that he had tried to save everyone, but failed.

Brazilian rescuers found the body of Beatriz Tavares da Silva Faria in the open sea, and a week later, Aline was found dead on the coast of Itakitanduva beach.

This case is currently being thoroughly investigated by investigators to determine what exactly caused the death of the women - the captain's negligence or an accident as a result of the elements.
