Influencer Angel Montoya is found dead three days after livestreaming a jump into Colombia’s Cauca River, sparking a debate on the fatal risks content creators take for online engagement.

The quest for internet fame has claimed another life in a horrifying spectacle. Angel Montoya, a popular content creator known for his adrenaline-fueled stunts, has been found dead three days after he livestreamed his jump from a bridge into the treacherous Cauca River in Colombia.
The footage is chilling in its banality. "See you later," Montoya told his thousands of followers in Spanish, flashing a smile before leaping off the vehicular bridge. What was meant to be a viral moment turned into a snuff film as the camera captured him hitting the water, struggling against the current, and then disappearing. The livestream did not cut to black; it simply bore witness to the unforgiving power of nature swallowing a man whole.
Rescuers battled high water levels and torrential rains for 72 hours. The search ended miles downstream where Montoya's lifeless body was recovered, confirming the worst fears of his family and fanbase. The local authorities in the region have issued a stern warning about the dangers of the river, which has swollen due to recent heavy rainfall.
The community is in shock. Tributes are pouring in, but they are mixed with anger at a culture that rewards recklessness. Angel Montoya wanted to give his fans a show; instead, he gave them a trauma. As the police close the case on his accidental drowning, the video of his final leap remains on the internet—a haunting digital tombstone for a life traded for views.
