A YouTube DJ is feared dead after he jumped from a cruise ship into the sea following an argument with his girlfriend on what was supposed to be a dream trip.
Carlos Alberto Mota Candreva, 32, had posted videos on his social media pages from the ship as it sailed from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro along Brazil’s South Atlantic Ocean coast.
One clip shows the luxury cabin that Carlos, who works as a programmer for a bank, booked for the two-day New Year’s trip with Vitoria modeling agency boss Barbara Momenso, 27.
Carlos tells his followers: ‘Here in the port of Santos we are still waiting for our departure.
‘Let’s see what happens, there’s a party tonight. My suitcase hasn’t reached the cabin door yet. We are here and enjoying it.”

A second clip shows the MSC Preziosa at sea as the sun sets, shot from the boat’s luxury restaurant, published with the caption: ‘I Love Sunsets’.
But just hours later, Carlos reportedly threw himself more than 200 feet into the ocean after an angry argument with Vitoria over their two-year romance.
Carlos, local media report, wanted an exclusive and official relationship with Vitoria, who wanted to remain informal.
Crew members on the ‘New Year’s Eve On The High Seas’ cruise raised the alarm after Carlos disappeared in the early hours of December 30.
Vitoria told local media: “He thought he couldn’t see me with anyone else, that he couldn’t handle it.”
She revealed that Carlos stormed off and came back and told her she was fooling him before jumping into the sea.

Vitoria said: ‘I was very shocked. I just froze.
‘I can’t eat, I try to eat but it won’t go down.
‘I will definitely have to go to therapy. I will be traumatized for the rest of my life.”
His sister, 44-year-old Christiane Mota da Silva, told local media: ‘I lost my best friend, my confidante, my partner.
‘I have a feeling of emptiness. My eyes don’t close, only tears come out. I feel like they took the best part of me.”
