A Taylor Swift fan died of heat stroke in Brazil in 2023.

There still haven't been any news stories about how the fall at Wembley occurred. But after looking at video showing how steep the section is - it looks like it has 3 steps for every 1 in the section below - and reading social media posts about how low the railing at the edge is (thigh or just above knee level according to some posts), it seems as if a fall could happen all too easily.
