Luis Felipe Feliciano Egoroff, 32, Vitor de Freitas Goncalves, 27, and Maicon Fernandes Cintra, 42, have been charged with homicide following the death of 21-year-old Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, who fell around 130 feet from a bridge in Brazil after allegedly being launched without being attached to safety ropes.

The suspects are at the centre of a criminal investigation into the fatal jump at Ponte do Esqueleto, known as 'Skeleton Bridge', in Limeira, São Paulo state. The case intensified after reports that two of the men allegedly left the area following the fatal fall. Investigators allege a breakdown in safety procedures allowed Rodrigues de Freitas to be released without being connected to the rope system designed to protect participants.
