A famous Brazilian soap star has drowned in a river while filming a popular TV show which saw his character narrowly escape death in a recent episode. Domingos Montagner died after being swept away in the Sao Francisco River in Caninde, a small town in the north east of Brazil. The 54-year-old, a veteran prime-time TV star was in between takes of the hit soap 'Velho Chico' when he went for a swim in the river with co-star Camila Pitanga. While paddling in the water, the pair were swept up by a strong current and carried downstream but Pitanga managed to grab on to a rock. However, she was unable to keep hold of Montagner and when she got out of the water, she alerted authorities and a large scale search began. But several hours later, his body was found trapped between rocks and the riverbed and a depth of 30 metres. Antonio Francisco Filho, a local government official told G1: 'The actors thought the area they picked to swim was safe, but in fact it's one of the most dangerous places to bathe. 'This is a part of the river in Caninde that isn't common for bathers.' 'Velho Chico,' broadcast on Globo TV is one of Brazil's most-watched 'novelas' - or primetime soaps - and tells the story of the power struggles between two families of landholders in the turbulent 1970s. Tragically, Montagner played the role of Santo, who disappeared in the same river in a recent episode. In the series, he was rescued by an indigenous tribe. Montagner had been a circus performer and acted in the theatre before getting into television the last several years. Local media reported that he was married and had three children. His death triggered an outpouring of shock and sympathy in Brazil, where millions of viewers watch novelas each day.
