Sad sad news.

The Golden Girl had been very sick recently and had been fighting dementia for years.

Our thoughts go out to her family.

As we mentioned a few months ago, Brazilian priest Adelir Antonio de Caril attempted to raise money for a spiritual rest-stop for truckers by trying to break a 19-hour record for the most hours flying with balloons.

Unfortunately, he went missing shortly after taking off.

Now, new reports reveal that his body may have been found.

It seems a body was found by a tugboat crew 60 miles off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

It is said the body is wearing the same clothes and shoes as the priest.

Officials are still waiting for DNA tests before they confirm the findings.

Sad.

Who will save those truckers' souls now???
