The Volunteer Firefighters of Câmara de Lobos (BVCL), were called this afternoon to Poço dos Chefes, in Curral das Freiras, following an alert, reporting a corpse had been sighted at the bottom of the pool. At that time they were unable to assess the person’s gender.
Two teams of firefighters were immediately dispatched with a third sent out to assist.
Later reports confirmed that the body of a man had been removed from the pool. He was found at a depth of three metres by divers from the Madeiran Volunteer Firefighters.
The body was handed over to the authorities who are now responsible for investigating the death.
