A Brazilian singer, Marilyn Morais, has died after being bitten by a spider at his home in the northeastern city of Miranorte in Brazil.
Morais was said to have developed an allergic reaction to the spider bite on his face and was admitted to a hospital but died 24 hours later.
Wife of the singer Jhullyenny Lisboa said his stepdaughter also suffered a spider bite along with him but is in a stable condition.
Lisboa said that Morais experienced body fatigue and that the color of the bruise on his face started to change as a result of the bite.
Morais developed allergic reactions later during the week and visited a hospital in Miranorte, where he was treated and discharged Friday.
Morais sang forró, a popular genre of music in Brazil’s northeast region that is based on a combination of the accordion, zabumba, and metal triangle.
