Brazilian newspaper Estadão explained that authorities are set to “investigate everything that fans reported, such as the structure of the place and the availability of water.” PEOPLE has reached out to Time for Fun for comment.

On the day of Benevides Machado’s death, temperatures topped 102 F, according to PBS.org. The heat wave caused Swift to cancel her Saturday performance due to the “extreme temperatures in Rio.”

The show was rescheduled to Monday, and the singer wrote that “the safety and well being of my fans, fellow performers and crew has to and will always come first.”

While Benevides Machado’s cause of death has not been announced, Time For Fun shared in a social media post written in Portuguese that the concertgoer had felt unwell at the venue and was attended to by first responders before being transferred to Salgado Filho Hospital, where she died.

While speaking to the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, her father, Weiny Machado, expressed that he wanted clarification on whether fans were prohibited from bringing water to the show after fan-captured videos showed Swift pausing the concert and asking for water to be brought to attendees.
