Viviane Aredes celebrated her 36th birthday at a bar with friends and her two children on the banks of the Rio Grande, just days before a tragic boating accident that occurred at the border of São Paulo and Minas Gerais. After the celebration, one of her sons, four-year-old Bento Aredes, expressed a desire to join her when he was picked up by a friend to go back to the bar. Unfortunately, this trip ended in tragedy when the boat hit a pier, resulting in the deaths of Viviane and Bento, while her other son survived.
