A methanol poisoning crisis in Brazil’s São Paulo state has claimed its third victim, 30-year-old Bruna Araújo de Souza, who succumbed after consuming a vodka-based drink at a local bar. This tragic incident follows the deaths of two men, Marcos Antônio Jorge Júnior and Ricardo Lopes Mira, both of whom died after ingesting tainted alcohol. Health authorities have confirmed 225 cases of methanol poisoning nationwide, with the majority concentrated in São Paulo. In response, officials have shut down 11 businesses and seized over 10,000 bottles of alcohol suspected of contamination. The source of the methanol, a toxic substance commonly used in industrial products, remains under investigation. Authorities are urging the public to avoid unlabeled or unsealed alcoholic beverages. The crisis has sparked widespread concern, with Brazilian rapper Hungria among those hospitalized. Health Minister Alexandre Padilha has labeled the situation as unprecedented in the country’s history.
