A Brazilian jiu-jitsu master fell to his death during a wedding at Italy’s Lake Como over the weekend, local authorities reported.  "It is with great sadness that his family and friends around the globe struggle to wrap their heads around such a profound loss," Rick Knight, a cousin, wrote.

Octavio Couto Da Silva, a 52-year-old resident of Dallas, Texas, fell from a short ledge down a 16-foot drop into the water below.

His cousin told reporters that Da Silva leaves behind a wife and daughter, with whom he had planned to move to his native Brazil.

Da Silva was alone when he fell, with authorities speculating that he had split from the rest of his party for a walk before turning in for the night, news outlet Italy 24 reported.
