A birthday celebration at a retirement home in Chongqing, China, took a tragic turn on April 12, 2024, when an unexpected accident occurred during a musical performance.
A 31-year-old singer had just finished performing two songs when she tripped over her dress on stage. The impact of her fall, when she struck her head against the stage, left the audience in shock.
Immediately following the incident, the previously lively performer lay still on the stage, as staff members rushed in to administer chest compressions. Despite their quick response, the singer was unable to be revived on the scene.
The singer, who had reported feeling unwell prior to the performance but decided to continue, was taken to a nearby hospital in Chongqing. Upon her arrival, she was pronounced dead, despite the efforts of the medical team to save her.
The local police authority has ordered an autopsy to establish the exact cause of death. This will help to determine if the fall was solely responsible for her death or if there were other underlying health issues.
This incident mirrors a similar event that took place last August in Recife, Brazil. There, a 29-year-old singer named Sergiho Murilo Gonçalves Filho, also known as MC Serginho Porradão, died during a performance. He was trying to settle a dispute between a couple at his show when he was inadvertently struck, sustaining a fatal head injury.
