Brazilian Couple Dies After Car Rolls Off Cliff As They Engaged in Sexual Intercourse Inside Vehicle
Adriana Machado Ribeiro and Marcone da Silva Cardoso were out partying with Marcone's brother and his girlfriend on Sunday night (August 3). After dropping the other couple home, Adriana, 42, and Marcone, 26, drove to a hang-gliding launch ramp. The vehicle was parked near a ravine due to poor lighting before they started getting intimate, as reported by CNN Brasil.
Police believe the vehicle tragically tumbled over the cliff edge on Monday, August 4 at around 1am. After the car had fallen for about 100 metres the motor hit the ground throwing Adriana and Marcone from the vehicle, before rolling another 300 meters and coming to a halt.
The pair were found completely naked, not far from the twisted wreckage in Venda Nova do Imigrante, south-eastern Brazil. Police officer Alberto Roque Peres who is leading the investigation surrounding the couple's death's has said there's no evidence of foul play so far.
The officer told local media: "There were no signs of violence at the scene or on the bodies, and the car's handbrake was engaged." Investigators suspect the couple's movements inside the parked vehicle caused it to shift and tumble over the cliff edge."
Marcone's body was tragically found at the foot of the cliff while a team of firefighters had to navigate treacherous terrain to retrieve Adriana's remains. The pair had been together for roughly half a year.

US to revoke visas and impose restrictions on officials, alleging ties to Cuban labor program
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday took steps to revoke or restrict visas for some African, Caribbean and Brazilian officials who Washington alleges have ties to a Cuban program that sends medical workers overseas. The State Department revoked the visas of Brazilian Ministry of Health official Mozart Julio Tabosa Sales and former Pan American Health Organization official Alberto Kleiman, Rubio said in a statement. Rubio did not name the other officials who were affected but said they were from Africa, Cuba and Grenada. The Cuban government has blasted U.S. efforts to stop the medical missions, calling them a cynical excuse to go after its foreign currency earnings. Caribbean leaders have previously rejected U.S. accusations of Cuban labor exploitation. "Cuba's medical cooperation will continue," Johana Tablada, Cuba's deputy director of U.S. affairs, said on social media platform X. "His (Rubio's) priorities speak volumes: financing Israel genocide on Palestine, torturing Cuba, going after health care services for those who need them most," Tablada wrote. President Donald Trump's administration in February expanded visa restrictions to target officials believed to be tied to the Cuban program, which has sent medics to countries around the world since the Cuban revolution in 1959. The program provides hard cash to the island nation, which is enduring its latest economic crisis. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Rubio described the Cuban program as one in which "medical professionals are 'rented' by other countries at high prices and most of the revenue is kept by the Cuban authorities." He said it enriches Cuban officials while depriving Cuban people of essential medical care. Washington "will take action as needed to bring an end to such forced labor," Rubio said, urging governments to pay doctors directly for their services and not the Cuban government. In announcing restrictions on Brazil and former PAHO officials, Rubio accused the branch of the World Health Organization that covers the Caribbean, Central and South America of acting as an intermediary to implement the program without following Brazilian constitutional requirements, and dodging U.S. sanctions.

Brazilian striker Felipe scored twice after Yang Ming-yang's header had given Chengdu a 68th minute lead to see off the Thai side, ensuring coach Seo Jung-won and his team will be included in Friday's draw for the league phase in Kuala Lumpur. Yang met Romulo's corner to put Chengdu in front and Felipe doubled the lead three minutes later as he latched onto a ball over the top of the Bangkok United defence. Felipe added the third with six minutes remaining at the end of another incisive counterattack. Al-Duhail, meanwhile, came back from going behind to a third minute close-range strike by Amin Hazbavi to progress. Ibrahima Bamba powered his header into the top corner in the 11th minute to level the scores and Adil Boulbina put his side in front 13 minutes later with a stunning strike past Seyed Hossein Hosseini. Krzysztof Piatek hit Al-Duhail's third in the 33rd minute at the end of a rapid break and the Qatari side held on despite conceding in the 93rd minute, when Milan Zakipour netted from close range.
