Couple enjoying naked car date die after car plunges 1,300 feet off cliff at remote beauty spot
A couple's lustful date night ended in terrifying tragedy when their car plunged 1,300 feet off a cliff in Brazil, sending their naked bodies tumbling from the vehicle. Adriana Ribeiro, 42, and her boyfriend Marcone Cardoso, 26, had parked at an overlook in Venda Nova do Imigrante, in the state of Espirito Santo, on Monday after attending a party. The pair stopped off at the cliff's edge, which is known as a popular spot for hang-gliding, to lock lips. CNN reported that the two were having sex at the time and that their movement inside the car led it to tip over the edge. The car fell to an area about 300 feet from the top of the cliff where their naked bodies were ejected. The vehicle then plunged another 1,000 feet to the base of the mountain, where police found Cardoso's body. Tiago Amorim, who works at the hang-gliding site, told TV Gazeta that he heard a loud noise around 2:20 am, but had trouble seeing anything because it was too dark. 'I saw the car's engine very far away and the car fell almost 150 meters from the accident,' he said. 'It was a shocking scene, the car was destroyed, turned into a piece of paper. The height is very big.' Firefighters had to hike in recover Ribeiro's body. 'It was very steep terrain. At the bottom there was dense vegetation, and at the top there was a rock wall,' one of the firefighters told the broadcaster. 'The first body, the man's, was right at the base of the rock wall. 'Now, to search for the second victim, the team had to make a trail through the dense vegetation.' Cardoso's brother said that that the couple, who were dating for just six months, went a party with him before dropping him off at his own home. 'They left me at home and went out together,' he said. 'He had worked all weekend, hadn't seen her for four days, and they went out together.' Ribeiro was divorced and leaves behind two children, a boy and a girl, from her previous relationship. Cardoso was the father of a four-year-old, also from a prior relationship. His former girlfriend described him as the 'love of her life' in a social media post. Espirito Santo Civil Police chief Alberto Peres said investigators have ruled out foul play, according to Brazilian news outlet G1. 'We're investigating, looking into everything,' he said. 'What we have today is this: they were at a party, stopped there to make out a bit before heading home, and unfortunately, these events happened.'

Couple, 26 & 42, die while having sex in 1,300ft plunge in car after ‘rocking vehicle so much it fell off cliff'
A COUPLE died when their car plunged 1,300ft off a cliff while they were having sex. Adriana Machado Ribeiro, 42, and Marcone da Silva Cardoso, 26, had driven to a hang-gliding launch ramp after a party in Venda Nova do Imigrante, south-eastern Brazil. 5 5 After dropping home Marcone's brother and his girlfriend on Sunday night, they decided to spend some more time in each other's company. The pair began being intimate - but then the car started rolling and fell over the edge. Cops think it fell at around 1am on Monday morning. Around 100m into the fall — before the car hit the ground — the pair were thrown from the vehicle, likely after it struck a rock. Their car carried on tumbling for another 300 metres before coming to rest, completely smashed up. The couple were found naked, not far from the mangled wreckage Police officer Alberto Roque Peres, who is leading the investigation, said there is no evidence of foul play so far. He 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 teeter over the cliff edge. The car was found on private property at around 7am by a caretaker clearing the land. Two hikers seriously injured after plunging from cliff at Scots beauty spot The officer added: 'Residents reported hearing a loud noise between 1:30am and 2am, but because it was dark and the vegetation was thick, no one saw anything at the time." Marcone's body was discovered at the base of the cliff, while firefighters had to navigate steep terrain to recover Adriana's. The couple had been together for about six months. Family and friends describe their relationship as healthy, with no reports of fights or violence. 5 5 Neither had a criminal record, according to police. Marcone was originally from Belo Horizonte and had been living in Venda Nova do Imigrante for a short time, working as a machine operator. Adriana was a local who had spent 16 years working at her mother's bakery. She leaves behind a son and a daughter from a previous relationship.
