Amanda Marinho Nascimento, a 29-year-old intensive care nurse from Brazil, died in Portugal following a severe allergic reaction to seafood during her honeymoon. The incident occurred in Leiria on October 21, 2026, approximately 11 days after her wedding.

Reports indicate that Nascimento consumed a dish she believed was breaded fish, but which contained shrimp or squid. This triggered an asthma crisis and subsequent cardiorespiratory arrest. While she received initial aid from emergency services in Leiria, her husband noted that the local hospital lacked the resources to stabilize her. She was transferred to the University Hospital of Coimbra, but she suffered cardiac arrest and passed away before reaching the facility.

Following the tragedy, her religious community mobilized on social media to raise funds to cover the costs of repatriating her body to Brazil.
