A man and woman are dead after a car it’s believed they were having sex in went over a cliff.

Marcone da Silva Cardoso, 26, and Adriana Machado Ribeiro, 42, were in a parked car at Venda Nova do Imigrante scenic overlook in Brazil in the early hours of Aug. 4 when the movement from their intimate moment sent them over the 400-metre (1,300-foot) drop, the U.K. Sun reported.

Cardoso and Ribeiro are said to have been ejected naked from the vehicle after about 100 metres before the car tumbled another 300 metres before coming to a rest, completely destroyed.

The couple of six months had left a party before heading to the area, where the ground was wet, and eventually slid down a hang-gliding ramp, official Alberto Roque Peres told CNN Brazil.

The vehicle was located hours later by a local caretaker.

Cardoso and Ribeiro were found naked at the base of a rock, not far from the mangled wreckage.

“I saw the car’s engine very far away,” witness Tiago Amorim said, according to CNN. “It was a shocking scene, the car was destroyed.”

The case remains under investigation as authorities await forensic reports. There was no initial evidence suggesting others were involved.

“There were no signs of violence at the scene or on the bodies, and the car’s handbrake was engaged,” Peres said, per the Sun.

“Residents reported hearing a loud noise between 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m., but because it was dark and the vegetation was thick, no one saw anything at the time.”

Ribeiro was a mother of two, while Cardoso was the father of a four-year-old son.
