Emma Afra and Viviane Brahms have been identified as the two women who drowned in a tragic accident off Fisher Island, Florida. The two women were sitting in a Mercedes-Benz on a ferry traveling from Fisher Island to the mainland when the car rolled off the ferry and sank. The car with the two women’s bodies was recovered later the same day.

According to the Miami-Dade Police Department, an investigation is taking place in conjunction with the U.S. Coast Guard. They were advised of the incident by the ferry operator. Divers from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Miami-Dade Police Department located the blue 2019 Mercedes-Benz which was “submerged in the area of Government Cut, near Fisher Island.”

It is still unclear how the vehicle was able to roll off the ferry. Police have also said that the causes of death are pending a Medical Examiner’s report. The Miami Herald has reported that“sources familiar with the investigation told the Miami Herald on Wednesday that they believe Afra forgot to put her Mercedes in park and hit the gas pedal by mistake when the vehicle started rolling.” This has not yet been confirmed by the authorities.
