Brazilian teen dies after injecting butterfly remains, police investigate possible social media challenge

Mysterious death linked to online trend

A 14-year-old Brazilian boy has died after injecting himself with a mixture of butterfly remains and water, prompting authorities to investigate whether his death was linked to a viral social media challenge according to a report by New York Post.

Davi Nunes Moreira, a resident of Vitória da Conquista, suffered excruciating pain for seven days in a local hospital before succumbing to complications that experts suspect were caused by an embolism, infection, or severe allergic reaction.

Police investigate social media influence

Authorities are now examining whether Moreira’s actions were influenced by an online trend. The teenager reportedly admitted to mixing a dead butterfly with water and injecting the concoction into his leg before he fell seriously ill.

“The autopsy results will provide clarity on the cause of death. We aim to uncover the full truth of what happened,” a spokesperson for the Civil Police in Vitória da Conquista stated.

Medical experts weigh in

Medical professionals speculate that the injection may have triggered a fatal embolism—a blockage in the bloodstream that can lead to sudden death.

“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,” said a hospital specialist.

Experts also believe the butterfly remains may have contained toxins that led to septic shock, ultimately causing the teenager’s body to shut down.

Awaiting autopsy results

While authorities continue their investigation, the full post-mortem report is expected to confirm the exact cause of death. Police have not ruled out the possibility that Moreira was influenced by a dangerous social media challenge, adding to growing concerns over the impact of online trends on teenagers.
