Drunk guy stumbles into river after party, ends up drowning. Brazil, 11 February 2024

A man identified as Allan Serejo da Silva drowned in the River Guamá, on Sunday night (11), during a party that was taking place in the municipality of São Miguel do Guamá, northeast Pará. The victim is also identified by the nickname 'Pureto'. Initial reports are that he was drinking alcoholic beverages and, at a certain point, entered the river and disappeared into the water. About an hour later, he was found floating unconscious.

According to the 42nd BPM, which is responsible for policing the municipality, at around 10.30pm people who were taking part in a party on the banks of the river reported that 'Pureto' had disappeared when he entered the water. The Fire Brigade was immediately called in and began searching for the man. Due to the poor lighting at the site and the dark color of the water, the agents had difficulty searching and did not find the victim. At around 11.55pm, the police were called again by residents who reported the appearance of the body.

The firefighters removed 'Pureto's' body and began resuscitation procedures, but were unsuccessful and sent the victim to a health unit. According to people in the area, Allan had mental problems and was well known in the town. Witnesses mourned Pureto's death.

In a statement, the Civil Police said they are investigating the circumstances of the death through the São Miguel do Guamá police station. Witnesses will be heard and forensics will be requested to help with the investigation. The Pará Military Fire Brigade sent a statement to the press informing that it was called to attend the incident and carried out resuscitation procedures. The victim was taken to the municipal hospital in São Miguel do Guamá.
