Taylor Swift Brazil Concert Triggers Police Probe After Fan Dies at Stadium

Police in Brazil have reportedly opened a probe into the organizers of final Friday’s oppressively scorching Taylor Swift live performance that left one fan lifeless and the pop star gasping for air.

A rep for Rio de Janiero’s Civil Police Division mentioned they launched an investigation into Time4Fun, the corporate that organized the occasion at Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium on November 17, in line with NBC Information.

Investigators from the buyer delegations division are particularly wanting into whether or not Time4Fun dedicated the “crime of endangering the life and health” of the present’s attendees, the spokesperson mentioned. The rep added that firm execs may even be known as to testify.

As you realize, Ana Clara Benevides Machado fell unconscious earlier than Taylor hit the stage throughout the record-breaking warmth that evening.

Ana later handed away at a hospital, and prosecutors introduced they might examine her explanation for dying, which has not been disclosed.

As for Taylor, she was filmed seemingly struggling to breathe on stage throughout her efficiency. Fans took to social media and expressed their concern for her well-being.

Additionally they demanded Time4Fun provide extra water to followers at Taylor’s subsequent 2 reveals in Rio, though one was subsequently postponed as a result of warmth.

On Thursday, firm execs issued an announcement, apologizing to concertgoers and admitting they’d made errors, saying they “did not economize in our efforts or resources to follow the best global practices in our industry to guarantee the comfort and safety of all.”
