Officials have announced that the last surviving member of an uncontacted indigenous group in Brazil has been discovered deceased in the Amazon rainforest. Commonly referred to as the "Man of the Hole," he had resided in complete isolation for an astonishing 26 years. Found in a hammock near his straw hut on 23 August, there were no indications of foul play. Believed to have succumbed to natural causes, he was estimated to be around 60 years old. His passing marks the extinction of his indigenous group within the Tanaru indigenous area, situated on the border of Bolivia in the state of Rondônia.
