A Brazilian teen died after injecting himself with butterfly remains but not before he spend a week at the hospital in agonising pain caused by an allergic reaction or infection, a report by New York Post said
14-year-old Davi Nunes Moreira suffered from excruciating pain in a hospital in Vitoria de Conquista for seven days after he fell sick. The teen admitted that he had mixed a dead butterfly with water and injected the mixture into his leg.
Police are now investigating if the boy was participating in a social media challenge that led to his death.
A hospital specialist speculated that the teen might have suffered an embolism, an infection or an allergic reaction. “We don’t know how he prepared this mixture or the size of the fragments he managed to inject into the body. There may have been air left inside, which could lead to an embolism,” he stated.
An embolism, or blockage in a blood vessel, can lead to sudden death, he added.
