Rio Cubatão: Body of 6-year-old boy found in Santa Catarina
The body of a six-year-old boy, Enzo, has been recovered from the Cubatão River in Santo Amaro da Imperatriz, Santa Catarina. The child disappeared on August 17 after being swept away by strong currents while attempting to rescue a dog.
Local residents spotted the boy's body near the riverbanks on Thursday, August 20, approximately two kilometers from the location where he was last seen. The recovery followed a four-day search operation involving drones, sonar, divers, and search dogs.
Authorities are still searching for 59-year-old Odir Coelho, who went missing in the same area. It is suspected that Coelho entered the water in an attempt to assist in the search for the child.
