Preliminary information from firefighters indicates that the probable cause of death is drowning, but the results of the autopsy are still awaited
The body of a man aged around 30 was found on the shore of Guaíba, which is facing a period of great flooding due to the rains that hit Rio Grande do Sul. On the morning of this Wednesday (27), the waters came to invade the edge.
According to the Fire Department, the man was naked and did not carry any documents, and was found on Avenida Presidente João Goulart, close to Cais Mauá, a tourist attraction in Porto Alegre. He showed no signs of violence, and due to the state of decomposition, it is believed that death occurred at least two days ago.
Preliminary information from agents indicates that the probable cause of death is drowning, but the results of the autopsy are still awaited.
Sebastião Melo, mayor of the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, revealed that the city’s security authorities are seeking to identify the dead person, and said that there is no record of missing people in the island region, the part of the city that was most affected by the recent rains.
According to the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet), this is the wettest September in the city of Porto Alegre since 1916, when regular measurements began. Until Tuesday (26), Inmet had recorded 413.8 mm of rain in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul. The number represents almost triple the city’s normal average rainfall for the month of September, which is approximately 148 mm. The weather is still expected to remain unstable in RS this week.
