Search operations recover bodies in Brazil and France

In southern Brazil, the body of 25-year-old André Ferrari Pereira was recovered from the Canoas River after an eight-day search. The accident occurred in the Rio Vacariano locality in Urubici, Santa Catarina, when Pereira attempted to cross a bridge on a motorcycle during heavy rainfall. Approximately 50 centimeters of water covered the structure, causing him to lose control and be swept away by the current. Rescue teams utilized specialized divers and underwater cameras to search several kilometers downstream.

In France, the body of a 56-year-old man was recovered from the Loing Canal in Nemours, Seine-et-Marne. The individual, described as a vulnerable person living on a boat, had been missing for several days. Firefighters and divers retrieved the body near the Port-aux-Sables path on Thursday. A national police investigation has been opened to determine the cause of death.
