Overview
- The victims were identified as Júlia Lyandy Chagas, João Victor Vargas Ormond Gomes, and their 4-year-old son, Brian Vargas.
- Police said Chagas fell onto a broken, still-energized high-voltage cable while learning to ride a motorcycle on Estrada Comandante Celso in the Silvado neighborhood.
- João Victor and the child were fatally electrocuted when they approached to help, and all three died at the scene.
- Firefighters waited to act until ENEL cut power to the line, and neighbors reported they had warned about the fallen cable days earlier.
- The 82nd Police Station is leading the investigation, and ENEL said it sent crews after being notified, expressed condolences, and is probing the causes while assisting the family.
