In a story that feels like your heart is being ripped out of your chest, the digital world is mourning the heartbreaking death of Brazilian influencer Yasmim Ângela Feitosa de Souza. A young, vibrant life was cut short in the most unexpected, heartbreaking way.
What Happened to Yasmim Ângela Feitosa de Souza?
Yasmim Ângela Feitosa de Souza, a vibrant personality known for her lifestyle content, comedic skits, and a love story that seemed like a fairy tale, passed away on November 12. The events leading up to her death are as confusing as they are devastating. Just two days prior, on November 10, she was celebrating her 26th birthday
According to her heartbroken mother, de Souza and two friends shared a bottle of whiskey. The celebration seemed normal, and the following day, Yasmim was her usual happy self, even going grocery shopping with her mother. But by that night, something was terribly wrong. She began to feel unwell, and despite her mother’s efforts, she couldn’t be saved.
A local hospital, the University Hospital of Univasf, later confirmed, per the NY Post, that “they had treated a patient for methanol poisoning on Nov. 12.” Methanol, a toxic industrial alcohol, can be fatal even in small amounts and is sometimes found in bootleg or counterfeit liquor.
The influencer’s mother told the Brazilian news outlet G1, “They drank on Monday night, and then yesterday my daughter’s boyfriend woke up feeling unwell. My daughter, however, was happy all day, playing with everyone, she went to the market with me, we did our grocery shopping, we had lunch out. And it was at night that she started feeling unwell. And then I couldn’t save my daughter.”
This wasn’t just a case of someone feeling sick after a night out. The situation points to something far more sinister, and the community is now looking at a potential case of methanol poisoning. The incident doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The region has been battling a spate of methanol poisoning cases, with a mass outbreak in early October sickening over 200 people and killing three after they consumed tainted bootleg alcohol.
