Report points out that the death of a Taylor Swift fan was caused by thermal exhaustion The RJ Civil Police wants to hear from T4F – Time For Fun, organizer of the Taylor Swift show, after the release of the report on the death of Ana Clara Benevides Machado. The 23-year-old student died after falling ill at the singer’s first show in Rio, in November. The document pointed out that the young woman had thermal exhaustion caused by the heat. At the time, the city was facing an extreme heat wave, with temperatures above 40ºC. “Four tests were carried out in addition to this complementary report. So, in another test it was determined that Ana Clara did not drink alcohol, did not consume toxic substances and also had no pre-existing illnesses”, said delegate Juliana Almeida, from the 24th DP (Piedade) . “The next step of the police investigation now is to conduct a hearing with the organizers of the event to find out what measures they took on the day. Given what the report pointed out and the other steps that we will carry out, the hearings could lead to indictment for manslaughter”, he added. At the first show, organizers prohibited fans from entering the stadium with water bottles. There was also no free distribution. One day after the young woman’s death, the Minister of Justice and Public Security, Flávio Dino, announced measures to allow water to enter shows. The show’s producer accepted the decision and allowed the entry of water glasses and flexible plastic bottles, as well as food, as long as they were sealed. Ana Clara Benevides Machado, 23 years old, was studying psychology at the Federal University of Rondonópolis (UFR), in Mato Grosso Reproduction/Instagram READ ALSO: Thermal exhaustion: understand what caused the death of a Taylor Swift fan at a concert Taylor Swift said goodbye to Brazil without mentioning a fan who died after falling ill at a concert Fan who died at a Taylor Swift concert was 23 years old and dreamed of meeting the singer Alveolar hemorrhage The show took place on November 17th, at the Nilton Santos Stadium, Engenhão, to an audience of approximately 60 thousand people. Ana Clara had a cardiorespiratory arrest. She was taken to the hospital, but did not survive. The expert concluded that the young woman was exposed to diffuse heat — that is, that there was extreme heat in the environment —; that the exposure was indirect; that the source of heat was the sun; that the clinical evolution points to thermal exhaustion with cardiovascular shock and severe impairment of the lungs, progressing to sudden death. The document also says that the young woman died from alveolar hemorrhage, that is, there was a rupture in the blood vessels that irrigate the lungs, and polyvisceral congestion, which means the paralysis of several organs due to diffuse exposure to heat. Fans criticized the event organizers for preventing public access with water bottles. The singer herself even paused the show to ask her fans for help after noticing that people were feeling sick in the audience. According to her friend Daniele Menin, the young woman fainted during the song Cruel Summer, the second in Taylor’s repertoire. “In the second song she simply passed out. Then we took her out with the help of the security guards and ran to the support post in the stadium. They attended to her and took her to the ambulance”, remembers Daniele. Ana’s family lives in Sonora (MS), but she lived in Rondonópolis to study. The young woman was studying psychology at the Federal University of Rondonópolis (UFR) and would graduate this year. Ana’s friends stated that the young woman loved the American singer and was fulfilling a dream by traveling to watch the artist’s show.
