The boy drowned after being swept away by flood, early Saturday, in the municipality of Juquitiba, in the suburbs of Sao Paulo, and a 48-year-old man died Friday night, in Sao Bernardo do Campo, after his house collapsed due to a landslide.
Rescue is underway near Parelheiros, at the southern tip of Sao Paulo, to search for a person who went missing due to flooding, local media reported.
