El agotamiento por calor fue la causa de la muerte de una fan brasileña en el concierto de Taylor Swift, así lo confirma un informe forense.

Ana Clara Benevides Machado se desmayó durante el concierto de Taylor en Río de Janeiro el 17 de noviembre en medio del calor agobiante de la ciudad -105 grados- y fue declarada muerta horas más tarde en el hospital.

El Instituto Médico Legal de Río de Janeiro revela que la exposición al calor provocó un "compromiso grave de sus pulmones y muerte súbita", en términos médicos, sufrió un paro cardiorrespiratorio.

El informe señala que no tenía ninguna condición preexistente o problemas de abuso de sustancias que podrían haber contribuido a su muerte.

El fiscal de Río de Janeiro ha abierto una investigación penal sobre la muerte de Ana Clara, y en un comunicado emitido el miércoles se informa de que representantes de la empresa Time4Fun, organizadora del concierto, serán llamados a declarar tras un análisis en profundidad del informe.

Poco después de que se produjera el trágico incidente en el Estadio Olímpico Nilton Santos, los fans le exigieron a los organizadores que suministraran más agua en los siguientes conciertos ya que no se les permitía entrar en el recinto.

Los ejecutivos de la empresa reconocieron su error poco después, diciendo que "no economizar en nuestros esfuerzos o recursos para seguir las mejores prácticas globales en nuestra industria para garantizar la comodidad y la seguridad de todos".

Heat exhaustion was the cause of death of a Brazilian fan at Taylor Swift's concert ... a forensic report confirms.

Ana Clara Benevides Machado passed out during Taylor's Rio de Janeiro concert Nov. 17 amid the city's oppressive heat -- 105 degrees -- and was pronounced dead hours later at the hospital.

Rio's Forensic Medical Institute now reveals heat exposure led to a "serious compromise of her lungs and sudden death" -- basically, in medical terms, she suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest.

The report notes she didn't have any preexisting conditions or substance abuse issues that could have contributed to her death.

Rio's public prosecutor has now opened a criminal investigation of her death ... saying in a statement Wednesday representatives of the concert's organizers, Time4Fun, will be called to testify following an in-depth analysis of the report.

Soon after the tragic incident unfolded at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos ... fans demanded the organizers supply more water at the following shows because they weren't allowed to take any into the venue themselves.

The company execs acknowledged their mistake shortly after ... saying they "did not economize in our efforts or resources to follow the best global practices in our industry to guarantee the comfort and safety of all."

El actor de "Mi pobre angelito" Ken Hudson Campbell está agradeciéndole a sus fans por todo el apoyo tras un reciente susto de salud relacionado con un cáncer de boca.

La hija de Ken, Michaela, creó una página GoFundMe para ayudar a cubrir sus gastos médicos y publicó una actualización en Navidad sobre su condición de salud, que fue escrita por el propio Ken con una foto suya sonriendo en un gorro de Santa.

En caso de que se hayan olvidado, la foto de Ken es un homenaje, por supuesto, a su papel de Kris Kringle en la película de 1990 "Mi pobre angelito".

Ken escribió que estaba "conmovido más allá de lo creíble por su generosidad y sus buenos deseos", al mismo tiempo que les deseó a sus fans una "Feliz navidad y alegría en todo."

Según Michaela, Ken fue diagnosticado de cáncer en octubre después de que un tumor comenzara a crecer en la parte inferior de su boca. Desde que Ken perdió su seguro SAG-AFTRA después de la pandemia de COVID en 2022, se vieron obligados a iniciar el GoFundMe para recaudar dinero para sus facturas médicas.

Ken fue operado hace unas semanas, le extirparon el cáncer y parece que está mucho mejor de ánimo ahora, justo a tiempo para las fiestas.

"Home Alone" actor Ken Hudson Campbell is thanking his fans for all their support following a recent health scare involving mouth cancer.

Ken's daughter, Michaela, set up a GoFundMe page to help cover his medical bills ... posting a Christmas update on his condition written by the man himself with a smiling photo of him in a Santa hat.

In case you forgot, Ken's smiling Santa image was an homage, of course, to his role as Kris Kringle in the 1990 "Home Alone" movie.

Ken wrote that he was "moved beyond belief by your generosity and well wishes," while also offering his fans a "Merry Christmas and Happy Everything."

According to Michaela, Ken was diagnosed with cancer in October after a tumor started growing on the bottom of his mouth. Since Ken lost his SAG-AFTRA insurance after the COVID pandemic in 2022, they were forced to start the GoFundMe to raise money for his medical bills.

He had surgery a few weeks ago and had the cancer removed, and it looks like Ken is in much better spirits now ... and just in time for the holidays.

Kamar de los Reyes -- a longtime soap opera star -- has died, according to his family.

A spokesperson broke the news to THR Sunday, saying the actor passed away Saturday night in L.A. after a brief battle with cancer. Unclear what sort of cancer he might've been battling, or when he was diagnosed -- but it sounds like it was kept fairly private.

While de los Reyes will perhaps best remembered for his role as Antonio Vega on "One Life to Live" -- on which he was featured in 287 episodes -- video game fans probably recognize him too ... as he voiced villain Raul Menendez in the "Call of Duty" series.

He voiced Menendez -- a main and recurring character -- for a total of 4 'COD' installments ... including the famed 'Black Ops II,' where he debuted as the big bad for years to come.

de los Reyes had an impressive résumé outside of that as well. In addition to his work on 'OLTL' and 'COD' -- he had also memorably starred in shows like "Sleepy Hollow," "All American," "The Rookie," "Reed Between the Lines, "Promised Land," "Four Corners," "Valley of the Dolls," "ER" ... as well as guest starring on "Law & Order," "CSI," "The Mentalist" and more.

He had also been in a handful of films ... like "Nixon," "In Search of a Dream," "The Cell," "Cayo," "Salt," "LA Apocalypse," "Amelia 2.0," "Hot Guys with Guns" as well as others.

de los Reyes is survived by his wife, Sherri Saum, their children and other family. He was 56.

El Santa Claus de Madonna se cayó en medio de un baile erótico en el escenario, pero no está herido, ni confundido, según ha indagado TMZ.

Jerry Wise, también conocido como Santa Jerry, nos dice que no sabía que iba a haber un baile erótico durante su actuación en la parada de la gira de Madonna en D.C. el martes por la noche, pero que el número navideño solo falló porque la silla en la que estaba sentado no podía soportar su peso y el de la mujer.

Dicho esto, Santa Jerry dice que está bien y que su principal preocupación en el momento era no arruinar el espectáculo. Nos dice que sabe que tenía que recuperar la compostura con cierta rapidez porque se trataba de una actuación en una arena y había un montón de gente reunida para disfrutar un concierto de primer nivel.

Con todo, Jerry lo manejó tan bien como pudo y después del suceso, nos dijo que el equipo de médicos de Madge se aseguró de que no se hubiera lesionado, así como la propia Madonna, lo que él aprecia.

En cuanto a cómo se involucró en la gira, Jerry dice que es parte de la Red Mundial de Santa Claus y que recibieron una llamada del equipo de Madonna horas antes del espectáculo en busca de un Santa cerca del área de Washington DC que pudiera manejar ser el centro de atención.

Madonna's Santa Claus taking a nasty tumble in the middle of a lap dance on stage might've looked embarrassing -- but the dude's not hurt, nor is he trippin' ... TMZ has learned.

Jerry Wise, AKA Santa Jerry, tells us he actually didn't know he was in for a lap dance during his gig at Madonna's D.C. tour stop Tuesday night, but the racy Christmas bit only failed because the chair he was sitting on couldn't handle his weight the woman's.

That said, Santa Jerry says he's fine, and his main concern in the moment was not ruining the show. He tells us he knows he had to pull it together somewhat quickly -- 'cause it was an arena performance, and there were a lot of people there for a top-tier concert.

All in all, Jerry handled it as well as he could ... and after the fact, he tells us Madge's team of doctors made sure he wasn't injured -- as did Madonna herself, which he appreciates.

As for how he even got involved with the tour in the first place -- Jerry says he's actually part of the Worldwide Santa Claus Network, and they got a call from Madonna's team hours before the show, looking for a D.C.-area Santa who could handle the spotlight.

Bradley Cooper beelined it out of a big news conference for "Maestro" Thursday after someone called him to say something had happened to his daughter.

Cooper was speaking to the NYC crowd when he received the call from 6-year-old Lea's school nurse, after which he told the crowd, "So sorry. The school nurse just called me."

He then left the room to call the school back and then returned, telling the crowd he had to get to the school STAT to administer some sort of medicine that was out of bounds for the school ... this according to the Daily Mail. He said, "I have to apply something that they won't allow."

It's unclear what was wrong with Bradley's daughter and what medicine was used to treat the issue.

Bradley Cooper abandonó una gran conferencia de prensa de "Maestro" el jueves después de que alguien lo llamara para decirle que algo había pasado con su hija.

Cooper estaba hablando ante una audiencia de Nueva York cuando recibió la llamada de la enfermera del colegio de Lea, de 6 años, tras lo cual le dijo al público: "Lo siento mucho. Me acaba de llamar la enfermera del colegio".

A continuación, salió de la habitación para llamar a la escuela y luego regresó, diciendo a la multitud que tenía que llegar a la escuela inmediatamente para administrarle algún tipo de medicamento que estaba fuera de los límites del colegio, esto según el Daily Mail. Dijo: "Tengo que aplicar algo que no van a permitir".

No está claro lo que estaba mal con la hija de Bradley y qué medicamento se utilizó para tratar el problema.

Michael Bublé se llenó de emoción al hablar de la batalla contra el cáncer de hígado de su hijo Noah y de cómo eso lo ha llevado a restablecer sus prioridades y a enfocarse en su familia en lugar de su ego y el poder.

Al enterarse de que su hijo había sido diagnosticado con hepatoblastoma a la edad de 3 años, en 2016, explicó que una cortina se corrió sobre sus ojos y lo hizo darse cuenta de que aunque amaba a su familia, estaba concentrado en convertirse en el más grande y mejor en su carrera.

Hablando con Steven Bartlett en "The Diary of a CEO podcast", Michael dijo que prometió abandonar su ego y vivir una vida mejor si superaban los problemas de salud de Noah.

También quería ser más amable y empático y nunca más vivir su vida sin preocupaciones.

Michael Bublé welled up with emotion speaking of how his son Noah's liver cancer battle reset his priorities ... now focusing on his family rather than his ego and power.

Upon learning his son had been diagnosed with hepatoblastoma at the age of 3 back in 2016 ... he explained a curtain was pulled over his eyes -- making him realize that while he loved his family, he was tuned in on becoming the biggest and best in his career.

Speaking to Steven Bartlett on "The Diary of a CEO podcast" ... Michael said he promised to abandon his ego ... and live a better life if they got through Noah's health woes.

He also wanted to be kinder and empathetic -- and never live his life carefree anymore.

Warren Moon says Aaron Rodgers deserves a lot of credit for shutting down his comeback efforts this week ... explaining to TMZ Sports things could have turned dire for the QB if he had continued his push to get back on the field.

The Hall of Fame quarterback -- who knows a thing or two about playing into his 40s -- said on Wednesday he's glad Rodgers has decided to stop his pursuit of rejoining the Jets this season because he had a real fear the 4-time MVP could reinjure himself.

"Those Achilles injuries," Moon said, "even though the Achilles might be connected again, it still has to become much stronger."

Rodgers revealed on "The Pat McAfee" Show on Tuesday he would not get back under center for NY in 2023 despite busting his ass since he suffered the injury on Sept. 11 -- because he's just simply not 100 percent.

He told McAfee his leg is close -- but he needed another 3-to-4 weeks to really feel good about things. And, with the Jets officially eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday, it just seemed to make sense for the 40-year-old signal-caller to put his focus on getting ready for 2024.

Moon obviously thinks that's a great plan ... telling us that even if NY had been in the postseason hunt, he still would have rather sat Rodgers.

"I still don't think he should come back if he's not 100 percent," he said.

His advice to Aaron going forward was just to stay in shape -- while making sure his team makes it a priority to surround him with a good offensive line next season.

AEW star CJ Perry has been hospitalized for several days with a gruesome infection in her finger that has since spread up her arm ... a complication that has required surgery.

The 38-year-old shared photos with her millions of social media followers this week ... initially saying on Saturday she went to the ER after realizing a problem with her middle finger and arm.

"Please keep me in your prayers I’m at the ER @vphcares," Perry said on X ... explaining the medical emergency is the reason why she has not been competing recently.

"The infection from my small finger has gone up my arm. I am so sorry I had to miss last night and @AEW tonight. I look forward to debuting in Mexico with @AndradeElIdolo. Good luck @ToBeMiro and my client."

Perry -- who went by the ring name Lana during her WWE tenure -- provided an update on Monday ... revealing she had to undergo a procedure to address the ailment.

"The infection has gotten worse and I'm going into surgery tonight," Perry said. "Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I love you all."

Perry joined AEW this year ... making her debut with her husband and fellow wrestler Miro, on September 3 at the All Out PPV event. She's also an AEW manager and signed El Idolo as her first client.

Before All Elite, Perry was a WWE Superstar who also managed other wrestlers like Rusev.

Madonna says she was in a deep, controlled sleep during her hospitalization this year -- noting how lucky she is to be alive and giving insight into what she remembers in that state.

The singer made the startling revelation over the weekend during a show in Brooklyn, serving as one of the latest stops on her tour. At one point during the concert, she paused to address the crowd ... and said she'd been induced into a coma back in the summer.

Check it out ... Madge explains that a friend of hers, Shavawn, was one of the few people on hand when she passed out on the bathroom floor and made sure she got to an ER STAT.

Madonna thanked her personally -- Shavawn was in the audience that night -- and then went on to say that she also has her Kabbalah teacher to thank for being there at her side while she was in comatose. Interestingly, Madonna says she can remember hearing his voice.

As for what she can recall her teacher saying while she was under ... a common ask that anyone in that situation can identify with, especially when tending to a loved one.

Now, Madonna says when she regained consciousness ... one of the first things she saw was her six children sitting around her hospital bed. She jokes that it took a life-threatening situation to finally get all of them in one room, but sounds grateful they were there.

Madge has talked quite a bit about her health scare throughout her tour, which resumed in October -- although, she's confessed along the way that she's still not necessarily 100%.

You'll recall, she suffered a serious bacterial infection that put her out of commission for a good while ... but eventually, Madonna was back on her two feet and out in public again.

Madonna dice que estuvo en un sueño profundo y controlado durante su hospitalización este año, señalando lo afortunada que es de estar viva y de compartir una idea de lo que recuerda en ese estado.

La cantante hizo la sorprendente revelación el fin de semana durante un concierto en Brooklyn, una de las últimas paradas de su gira. En un momento, hizo una pausa para dirigirse a la multitud y les contó que había sido inducida en un coma en el verano.

Compruébalo tú mismo, Madge explica que una amiga suya, Shavawn, fue una de las pocas personas presentes cuando se desmayó en el baño y se aseguró de que llegara a urgencias.

Madonna le dio las gracias personalmente a Shavawn, que estaba entre el público esa noche, y luego pasó a decir que también tiene que dar las gracias a su maestro de Cábala por estar a su lado mientras estaba en coma. Curiosamente, Madonna dice que pudo recordar oír su voz.

En cuanto a lo que puede recordar de lo que dijo su maestro, una pregunta común para cualquier persona en esa situación, Madonna dice que cuando recobró el conocimiento, una de las primeras cosas que vio fue a sus seis hijos sentados alrededor de su cama del hospital. Bromea que tuvo que ocurrir algo que amenazara su vida para que todos pudieran estar en la misma habitación, aunque suena agradecida de que estuvieran allí.

Madge ha hablado bastante de su susto de salud a lo largo de su gira, que se reanudó en octubre, aunque ha confesado que todavía no está al 100% necesariamente.

Como recordarán, Madonna sufrió una grave infección bacteriana que la dejó fuera de servicio durante un buen tiempo, pero finalmente se recuperó y pudo volver a actuar en público.
