A leaked forensics report shows that the cause of death of a Taylor Swift fan at a concert in Rio de Janeiro last month was heat exhaustion. Ana Clara Benevides Machado, a 23-year-old student, died just before a Swift concert on November 17 amid a record-breaking heat wave. The forensics report details that Machado was exposed to extreme ambient heat that caused diffuse heat exposure, a process that can take from eight to 18 hours, according to the report. CNN cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the forensics report. According to the report, Machado had not consumed any alcohol or drugs, and had no preexisting conditions.
