Tragedy as footballer trips and falls nearly 300ft to her death while filming selfie at top of 25-storey tower block

in Brazil, it's claimed that she lost her bearings while focusing on her phone, stepping straight off the building.

Police and firefighters later recovered her body, after she had fallen approximately 22 stories.

Oliveira had played for the Centro de Tijucas futsal team.

She represented her team at the Tijucas Women's Municipal Futsal Championship earlier this year.

Oliveira was a big Corinthians fan and wore their shirt in her social media profile picture.

Her former futsal coach Angelica Solidade has paid tribute to Oliveira.

She said: "Everyone liked her. You never heard a person say 'Carol is boring' or 'I don't like her'.

"Everyone liked her from the adults to the young players she looked after on the bus."

Solidade has since set up a fundraiser to help Oliveira's family with funeral costs.
