Just a day after 21-year-old Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas lost her life in a botched rope-jumping stunt at Skeleton Bridge in São Paulo, a 59-year-old woman met a similar fate elsewhere in Brazil.
Rosemary Stuart Garcia plunged approximately 100 feet to her demise after losing her balance while applying insect repellent during a June 14 hiking trip at the Grutas do Spar caverns in Maricá.
An eyewitness and fellow hiker in her group of 15 recalled the horrifying moments, saying Rosemary fell “very fast.”
