A couple protect themselves with an umbrella for high temperatures, as they wait before the Taylor Swift concert, following the death of a fan due to the heat during the first day concert, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, November 18, 2023.
The police will investigate whether entertainment firm Time for Fun (T4F) (SHOW3.SA) committed the crime of endangering human life or health.
Ana Clara Benevides fell ill last Friday, on the first night of Swift's Rio tour in Rio, and later died in hospital.
Police have also launched a separate investigation into the cause of Benevides' death, which has not yet been concluded.
The firm's CEO Serafim Abreu acknowledged on Thursday that the concert organizers could have taken "alternative actions" to help fans cope with the extreme heat.
