Rilea claims that as soon as he arrived at the scene, Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos, for the concert of November 17, he could say "chaos" that "[the organizers] were not prepared for what they did there ".

He says he had the same type of ticket as the beneficent.

Rilea continues by explaining that he brought two bottles of water with him because Rio lived a heat wave, but security told him that he could not bring the unprecedented bottles inside. According to Reuters, The heat index in Rio reached 138.7 degrees Fahrenheit on November 17. Rilea drank as much water as possible before entering the stadium and ran on the stage to "get closer" as he could. He says: "I think it is important to mention that I think that I was also right or very close to Ana Benevids, which means that we are dealing with the same security there, I think."

Rilea explains that during the show, he started to "sweat intensely" and that his clothes were quickly soaked. He said he has tried several times to ask the neighboring safety of water but was ignored. He realized that he was "very close to fainting" and wanted to review the Barricade to leave, but says that security told him that he had to come back by the crowd. Knowing that it would be very difficult, other fans still helped him on the barricade. He explains that a security person "dragged his stadium essentially". [A] And I said to myself: "OK, he will bring me to a doctor". No, he brings me to a drinks supplier, "" continues Rilea.

Rilea says he then begged water and could not communicate much else. The people who took care of him put ice on his wrists, seated him and attracted him, but he said that he was told that he had to pay for water. He also says that someone checked his pulse and said he couldn't feel one. "In my mind, I think:" Ok, I'm dying. This is what it would die "", he recalls. He said he was asked to pay 40 Brazilian reais for water ($ 8 USD), which he calls a "crazy amount of price price, especially for someone of medical emergency". He also says that he was suggested to buy a soda to get sugar in his system. "No, I gave you enough money, I don't buy a coke," he replied.

Riles continues: "The goal of this story is really that my life was not sure there at the concert. I was undergoing a medical emergency and that their only concern was to make me price for water." He adds benefits: "It kills me to know that the same people who manipulated me were responsible for his life ... I sincerely hope that his family is able to obtain justice for his life ... and I hope That this video will reach the right people. "
