A man died after going into cardiac arrest at New Year’s party in Brazil moments after he jumped into a waterfall area and was electrocuted.

Friends told the Distrito Federal Civil Police that Marco Bomtempo, 33, wanted to cool off when he was shocked inside the fountain after the party ended at club Bothanic in Brasília during the early hours of Monday.

‘He said he was going to jump when he left the event,’ João Cunha said, according to Brazilian news outlet G1.

Cunha recalled watching Bomtempo removing his shirt and handing it over to one of the girls he attended the party with when he went into the fountain.
