Singer Ayres Sasaki dies after being electrocuted on stage in bizarre accident

A recent music performance turned into an incredible tragedy. Singer Ayres Sasaki died after being electrocuted on stage in what can only be described as a freak accident.

Brazilian singer Ayres Sasaki performed in Salinopolis, Brazil on July 13. There, he died due to an interaction with a fan. A soaking wet fan approached him and hugged him. However, this simple interaction caused an electric shock. The singer was electrocuted by a cable on stage and died from his injuries.

There are many questions about this case. Why was the fan wet? Why was there an exposed cable on the stage? Did the fan himself suffer any injuries? So far, the police have not released any further details. But they are investigating the death and the exact circumstances. His family is also trying to find out what exactly happened.

Aunt Rita Matos told local media: “We know that his show was scheduled for a specific time and was brought forward, but we are contacting people who were with him at the time to understand how everything happened. We will gather all the information in a statement that we will release to the press.”

A statement also said: “We are fully committed to providing support to his family and taking the necessary measures. We reiterate our commitment to fully cooperate with the relevant authorities in properly investigating the incidents.”

Sasaki was not only a singer, but also an architect and urban planner. He was married to Mariana and married her just 11 months ago. Several of his fans commented on his death. They said Sasaki was very talented and passionate about music.

Adriano Freitas told local media: “We were friends in everyday life, even beyond music. (He was) a super charismatic guy, his talent was incredible. He was the best singer and guitarist in Belem. A great friend, very family-oriented, attentive to his friendships and to those who valued his work.”

Adriano recalled a time when his friend once played for 12 hours straight without a break. Comedian and friend Natto Almeida said: “What will definitely stand out about Sasaki is his good heart, he is very polite. I think that will be the lasting impression he leaves.”
