A tragic incident occurred in Iguape, São Paulo, where a 41-year-old man went missing after being swept away by the currents of the Ribeira de Iguape River. The man, who resided in Votorantim, was on a boat with family and friends when he decided to take a swim. Witnesses reported that he submerged beneath the water and failed to resurface, prompting immediate action from his colleague who contacted the local fire department.

The local fire department conducted an extensive search on Sunday, following the disappearance around 10:40 AM. Despite their efforts, the search proved unsuccessful, and officials determined that the conditions were difficult due to the river's currents. The rescue operations were paused at night and resumed on Monday morning; however, the man remains missing, raising concerns among his family and the community about his safety.

The ongoing search highlights the dangers associated with swimming in natural bodies of water, particularly in areas with strong currents. As rescue teams continue their operations, this incident serves as a reminder of the risks posed by waterways and the importance of caution when engaging in recreational activities by rivers or lakes.
