Three individuals are in police custody following an unlicensed extreme sports operation that left a young woman dead. The operators allegedly failed to attach a safety cord before the victim went over the edge of a structure. Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, 21, plummeted to her death from the Ponte do Esqueleto in São Paulo on 13 June.
Authorities confirmed that the team organising the excursion was operating completely illegally. Police statements reveal that the unregulated group had no official permission to conduct recreational activities on the massive bridge.
