After she fell, a witness filming is heard pointing to the rope left behind on the ground and shouting, “Guys, the rope!”

A police helicopter was called but de Freitas died at the scene.

Her fiancé was watching on as she plummeted to her death, according to police.

De Freitas, a physical education and sports management student, posted a message on her Instagram story shortly before the jump.

“Who was the crazy person who let me jump off a bridge?” she wrote on her story in a joking tone, reported O Globo.
