Two tourists got washed out to sea after being struck by a wave while they posed on rocks for selfies as their cousin filmed the harrowing aftermath
Amanda Maria Roque, 19, and Leonardo Santos, 25, clambered onto wet rocks at coastal town Farol de Santa Marta in Brazil during a holiday last month.
Cousin Jeferson da Conceicao, 19, had refused to join them, but decided to film as a giant waves threw them about, ultimately leading to one of them dying.
The pair were washed into the raging sea while Jeferson - who had also been taking pictures - recorded them being flung around by the water after he had called for help.
Lifeguards arrived on a jet ski and dragged Amanda from the sea but Leonardo had already been swept away.
Tragically, Leonardo's body was found four days later in the Laguna district, state of Santa Catarina.
