Missing "Balloon Priest" body found in Atlantic.

Adelir Antonio de Capri's body was found and recovered two days ago by the Anna Gabriela, an ocean going oil-liner tug boat. You may remember Father Capri as the "Balloon Priest", the priest who tried to raise money by flying to Dourados, a city 450 miles away from his point of origin, on a large string of helium balloons. Sadly, he flew upwards of 20,000 feet and was blown off course into the sea, despite rescuer's best efforts, Father Antonio de Capri was never found.

God Speed, Adelir Antonio de Capri, god speed.
