The young woman suffered a serious reaction after receiving a contrast agent – a special dye used in CT and MRI scans to make organs and tissues more visible on medical images.
She had a history of kidney stones and was undergoing the scan as part of a routine check at the Alto Vale hospital in Rio do Sul, Brazil.
Leticia had a law degree and was pursuing postgraduate studies in Law and Real Estate Business, according to the national outlet g1.
She was laid to rest on Thursday at Casa Mortuária Jardim Primavera in Rio do Sul before being transported to Crematório Vaticano in Balneário Camboriú, the Mirror reports.
The hospital expressed its condolences to the family, saying: “We regret this loss and extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family.
“We reaffirm our commitment to ethics, transparency, and patient safety, emphasising that all procedures are conducted in accordance with recommended clinical protocols.”
