A widely known influencer tragically passed away from pneumonia at the young age of 28 after being misdiagnosed by medical professionals.
Doctors initially suspected that Tatielle Ferreira, a mother of three, was suffering from dengue fever following her complaints of vomiting and pain.
On April 16, she sought treatment at the emergency care unit in Divinopolis, Brazil, after experiencing diarrhea and vomiting. She was discharged with medication. However, just four days later, the influencer, recognized for her weight loss advice and self-deprecating humor, returned to the hospital with respiratory issues.
X-rays showed that Tatielle had pneumonia, leading medical professionals to prescribe antibiotics before discharging her once more.
However, her condition deteriorated later that day, necessitating an urgent trip to the hospital.
The following day, she was intubated and transferred to a nearby hospital, where she tragically passed away.
Tatielle is survived by her husband and three young children.
She gained online prominence by sharing glimpses of her daily life and routines with her 74,700 Instagram followers.
Tatielle was also passionate about singing and regularly shared her music videos on YouTube.
Her heartbroken husband, Jeremias de Jesus, told local media: "I’ve lost everything, my rock, my foundation.
“I don’t even know where to begin again.”
The grieving family were left shocked with the sudden death of Tatielle, and accused the medics of negligence.
Jeremias added: “Everything could have been different on the 16th, when she was sent back home without even getting a test.
“Nothing can bring my wife back, but I want her passing to be investigated so that what's happening to me doesn’t happen to others.”
Authorities in Divinopolis have initiated an investigation at the emergency care unit to ascertain whether malpractice occurred. The findings of the investigation are anticipated to be disclosed within a month.
Tatielle was cherished for documenting her fitness journey and displaying her self-deprecating humor.
