February 7, 2023

THE last moments of a woman's life were captured on film just before she drowned in a fishing boat tragedy.

Michele Bayerl de Moraes de Sena posed for a selfie video while out at sea two days ago.

The short clip shows Michele enjoying a boat ride in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday before she was sadly killed.

Soon after the video was filmed, a heavy storm hit Guanabara Bay forcing the boat to capsize.

Michele, 43, and 13 other passengers were plunged into the water.

Her daughter Larissa, 23, said: "She texted me at 3pm, asking about my son, if he was okay.

"I said he was with me, and then she didn't say anything else."

Michele's husband Evandro Jose de Sena, 55, also died in the tragedy.

Footage filmed by fisherman Mateus Diniz – who's boat survived the conditions – showed storm clouds creeping in as the water got choppy.

A total of six people have currently been confirmed dead while firefighters search for two who are unaccounted for.
