Dream - A man from Brazil died tragically after 'diving' into a well he dug in his kitchen. He was João Pimenta da Silva, 71 years old, who entered the well after dreaming that there was buried gold deep beneath his house. This well was dug by João and his neighbor in Ipatinga, a city in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Before entering the well, he told his neighbor about his dream about the treasure. And all he needed to do was to dig. According to Antônio Costa, the neighbor who helped João Pimenta da Silva dig, the old man was trying to get rid of the water and mud at the bottom of the well when he fell into the hole. They had lowered a pump into the hole and managed to extract some buckets of water, but João wanted to go down into the hole to inspect something.

When Antônio lowered him into the well, the treasure hunter asked him to pull him back up. But as he started to ascend, somehow João slipped from the swing-like contraption and his arm got tangled in the swing rope. "I tried to hold him back, alone, there was no way to ask for help," Antônio told the police.

The firefighters who were called to the scene found João Pimenta da Silva already dead at the bottom of a deep well. João suffered multiple injuries, including open fractures in both legs, a broken hip, a torn abdomen, extensive abrasions, and no signs of life.

After examining the deep hole, the investigators were surprised at how the old man managed to dig such a deep well with a stable and almost perfect structure. The neighbors stated that the retiree had experience in digging wells, but considering its extreme depth - equivalent to a 13-story building, he must have needed sophisticated equipment to carry out such excavation.
