A body was discovered floating in the Lago de Palmas by an off-duty firefighter on the afternoon of Friday, the 13th. The body was found near the first ebb of the bridge, prompting immediate action by the local authorities. The G1 news outlet reached out to both the Public Security Department and military police for comments but had received no replies by the time their report was updated.

Following the report of the body, a team from the Fire Department was dispatched, arriving on-site with a boat. After conducting initial investigations at the scene, the firefighters transported the body to a launching ramp adjacent to floating docks along the Orla da Graciosa. This specific point was chosen due to restrictions on retrieving the body from the designated embankment area, emphasizing the careful considerations surrounding the handling of such sensitive situations.

Upon completing the preliminary procedures, the body was handed over to the relevant authorities for a thorough investigation to determine the cause of death and any circumstances leading to the body being found in the lake. The case is now under the purview of the Civil Police, who will further investigate the matter, though details remain scarce as they await more information from the involved agencies.
