Brazilian police open investigation after death of young woman at Taylor Swift concert

The Brazilian police have opened an investigation into the company that was in charge of organizing Taylor Swift‘s concert in Rio de Janeiro on November 17. A representative of the city’s Civil Police Department has confirmed this news to clarify that it will focus on determining whether a crime was committed, endangering the life and health of those attending the show.

To that end, Time4Fun company executives will be called to testify to determine whether the death of the 17-year-old girl named Ana Clara Benevides Machado, who lost consciousness before the concert began and died a few hours later, could have been prevented. at the hospital.

The result of the autopsy is not yet known, but the main theory is that it was due to the high temperatures that had to be endured inside the Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium. Videos recorded by fans themselves show Taylor herself sweating on stage and panting much more than normal as she tried to keep up with her performance.

The authorities have also asked the organizing company to commit to providing water to those attending the next two concerts that the artist has scheduled in Rio de Janeiro, one of which was suspended while waiting for the heat wave to pass.
