Tonight, many people are holding Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas in their thoughts. She was only 21.

Her story has touched thousands worldwide because it feels so painfully unfair. She did not go looking for danger. She went for an experience. A moment of courage. A memory to take home. But devastating reports indicate a critical safety step was entirely missed before she was launched from Skeleton Bridge in Limeira, Brazil.

Now, instead of celebrating her return, her loved ones are grieving a loss no family should ever have to face. There are moments when words feel completely inadequate. This is one of them.

May Maria’s family find strength during this unimaginable time. May the investigation bring the absolute truth to light. And may her story demand the changes needed to prevent another family from feeling this pain.

Rest peacefully, Maria. Your name will not be forgotten.
