LIMEIRA, Brazil — A disturbing new detail has emerged in the investigation into the death of 21-year-old student Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, with a witness claiming one of the bungee jump instructors removed a GoPro camera from her body after she plummeted 130 feet without a safety cord attached.

Maria had paid extra for the 360-degree camera during the “airplane-style” jump at the abandoned Skeleton Bridge. According to the witness account, after she was thrown from the platform and landed fatally on the ground, one employee was seen taking the camera handle from around her neck.

The shocking testimony adds to the growing outrage over the incident, which was captured on video showing the cord clearly left behind as Maria was launched.

Three instructors have already been arrested and charged with homicide in connection with the tragedy. The case has highlighted serious allegations of negligence, including rushed operations and failure to follow basic safety protocols.

Maria’s family and the public continue to demand full accountability as the investigation proceeds. The removal of the camera has raised additional questions about the handling of the scene and potential tampering with evidence.

This heartbreaking case has sparked widespread calls for stricter regulations on adventure tourism in Brazil.

Our deepest condolences remain with Maria Eduarda’s family and loved ones as they seek justice for her tragic death.

The investigation is ongoing.
