Who was Darlyn Morais? Brazilian singer dies at 28 after being bitten by a spider

Brazilian singer Darlyn Morais, 28, died after getting a spider bite on his face while he was living in Miranorte do Tocantins. Shortly before passing away from complications following the attack, Morais shared a startling photo of the spider bite wound on social media. The picture showed Morais’s face up close, with blackened fang marks visible under his left eye.

He continued to feel physically exhausted even after being treated, which led to his readmission to the hospital on Sunday. His bite-related allergic reactions necessitated additional medical care. Sadly, after fighting symptoms from the spider bite for several days, Darlyn Morais died on November 6 in the General Hospital of Palmas.
