A three-year-old has been left orphaned after a paraglider carrying her parents crashed during a tandem flight.
The accident took place in Niteroi City Park, which overlooks Brazil's spectacular Guanabara Bay of the Atlantic Ocean, on the afternoon of August 8.
The two who died were identified as paragliding and scuba instructor Luan Calor Cannelas Gomes da Silva, 29, and his ex-partner Vanessa do Nascimento Alves.
Although separated, the former couple had a three-year-old daughter together and remained on good terms, with Luan inviting her to join him for the fatal flight.
Footage taken after the crash shows rescue teams searching steep, wooded terrain for the victims.
