Amazonas Prosecutor Dies After Drowning at Praia do Forte

The Ministério Público has arranged a private wake and cremation in Manaus, with official accounts offering few details about the accident or the rescued companion's condition.

Overview

  • The drowning happened at Praia do Forte after two women entered the sea, and responders recovered Marlinda Maria Dutra de Oliveira already deceased on Wednesday, Aug. 19.
  • Local emergency teams — Corpo de Bombeiros, Polícia Militar, SAMU — and the Graer police helicopter carried out the rescue; a second woman was airlifted to Hospital do Subúrbio but her current condition has not been publicly updated.
  • Marlinda served about three decades at the Ministério Público do Amazonas and led the 41st Promotoria de Justiça Especializada em Fazenda Pública, a role noted in official condolences.
  • CONAMP, MPAM, AMPEB and other state MP bodies issued notes of condolence and the 3rd Congresso Conamp Mulher honored her with a minute of silence at the event's opening.
  • Reporting has left key facts unclear, with minor inconsistencies such as the victim's age and no public investigative findings yet, which may prompt further inquiries into the circumstances and beach safety practices for visiting delegations.
