The New York Post reported that Aline Tamara Moreira De Amorim, 37, and Beatriz Tavares Da Silva Faria, 27, ignored requests to wear life jackets on the speedboat that took them to shore.

Two female Influencers unfortunately died when their boat was capsized by waves in the fierce waters of Devil’s Throat, along the Iguazu River.

“Some people refused to wear life jackets because they were busy taking selfies. They also said that wearing life jackets interfered with sunbathing,” Sao Vincente police chief Marcos Alexandra Alfino said, citing the captain’s testimony.

According to local media, the two victims boarded a speedboat to get to shore with four other influencers after partying on a luxury yacht off the coast of Sao Paulo on September 29.

The speedboat captain told police he was asked to carry six people, while the maximum capacity was only five passengers, causing the boat to lose control in the fierce waves, throwing passengers into rough waters.

The captain tried to save the passengers, but two victims died after refusing to wear life jackets on board because they thought it would affect their selfies and tans.

Brazilian maritime rescuers found Faria’s body floating out to sea.

Amorium’s body was also found washed up on the shore of Itaquitanduva a week later. Minutes before she drowned, she posted selfies on social media on a luxury yacht.

According to local media, Alfino explained: “An investigation is underway to conclude whether the deaths were due to recklessness or negligence.”

Vanessa Audrey Da Silva, one of the five survivors, told media that she hurriedly put on a life jacket and clung to a rock after the boat sank.
