Brazilian rock singer Ayres Sasaki dies after bizarre electrical accident

A tragic incident occurred at a concert in Brazil in which singer Ayres Sasaki was killed by electrocution after a drenched fan hugged him on stage.

Sasaki was performing at a hotel in Salinopolis. The fan’s wet clothes and a nearby power cable caused the 35-year-old singer to suffer a fatal shock. It is not yet known how the fan ended up soaking wet.

His 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.”

The incident is currently being investigated by the Brazilian Civil Police. The Solar Hotel, where the concert took place, has since issued a statement: “We are firmly committed to supporting his family and taking the necessary measures. We reiterate our commitment to fully cooperating with the competent authorities in the proper investigation of the incidents.”

Sasaki was highly respected in the Brazilian rock scene. He was a road warrior and known for his marathon performances, which sometimes lasted for hours and included one encore after another.

“He was the best singer and guitarist in Belem (a city in the north of the country).” He added: “A great friend, very family-oriented, attentive to his friendships and to those who appreciated his work.” Brazilian comedian Natto Almeida, another close friend, said: “What will definitely stand out about Sasaki is his good heart, very polite. I think that will be the lasting impression he leaves.”

He leaves behind his wife Mariana, whom he married just 11 months ago.
