Adriana Vieira — Biography

Adriana Vieira, who had pursued a career as an adult model and performer, met a tragic end in the waters near Miami. Her modeling work included an appearance at Miami Swim Week in July 2023. Prior to her arrival in the United States in 2020, Vieira and her then-husband encountered significant legal troubles in Brazil. They operated a fraudulent online store named 123 Importados, which promised goods that were never sent, a clear instance of embezzlement. This led them to relocate to the U.S. Vieira, who was 31 years old, drowned off the coast of Key Biscayne after a celebratory outing on a rented yacht. According to the City of Miami Police Department, she entered the water near the Rickenbacker Causeway on September 21st and did not resurface. Responders arrived at approximately 8:30 p.m. Her remains were discovered shortly after and transported to Ryder Trauma Center, where she was officially declared deceased. An autopsy report attributed her death to drowning, classifying the manner of death as accidental.
