Pablo Henrico Gonzaga Lucas, a 15-year-old adolescent, was discovered deceased in Santos, São Paulo, on Monday, October 9. The young boy had gone missing after he and friends played soccer, followed by entering the nearby river at Monte Cabrão for a swim. Unfortunately, while trying to enjoy a leisurely day, Pablo was caught in a current and submerged, leading to a dire search effort.

The search for Pablo began on Sunday, October 8, when the Corpo de Bombeiros (Fire Department) was alerted around 4:15 PM that he had not returned from the river.
