The body of 'flying priest' balloon adventurer Adelir de Carli has been recovered some 100 kilometres off the Brazilian coast, local media reports said Saturday. Yeah, it's all great fun until somebody puts an eye out or a priest kills himself, innit?
Father de Carli went missing in April while attempting to fly with 1,000 helium-filled party balloons tied to a chair.
St. Thomas Aquinas would be so proud.
The body was recovered by a tugboat crew off Rio de Janeiro state, reports said. Police said clothing, a rucksack and shoes left little doubt that the body was that of the priest. DNA tests would be conducted to provide final proof.
I think it's too late for an IQ test.
