Brazilian musician Ayres Sasaki, 35, died by electrocution while performing live in Salinopolis, Brazil, in a tragic and unanticipated event. He died from an electric shock that happened when a wet admirer embraced him on stage. Local authorities are still investigating the events that led to the fan becoming wet.
Rita Matos, Sasaki’s aunt, revealed that the family is trying to get information from concertgoers in order to figure out how the disaster happened. After all the information is gathered, a public statement will be issued.
The concert’s location, the Solar Hotel, offered its condolences and promised to help Sasaki’s bereaved family unconditionally during this trying time.
Ayres Sasaki was a talented architect and urban planner in addition to his singing profession. Mariana, his wife, whom he had married just eleven months earlier, is left behind. He is “super charismatic, incredibly talented, and the best singer and guitarist in Belem,” according to his close friend Adriano Freitas.
Ayres Sasaki will be remembered for his remarkable talent and lively demeanor, but his untimely death has left a profound hole in the music community. I hope he finds peace.
