A 33-year-old mum died in hospital 10 days after receiving horrific burns when she tried to fry an egg.
The horror unfolded when mum-of-one Elisângela Oliveira de Jesus heated oil in a frying pan.
She cracked an egg into a glass to check it hadn’t gone bad.
She didn’t notice the glass had water in it.
When she emptied it into the pan, a huge flame rose.
It hit her in the face and burnt her T-shirt and nursing bra.
She was taken to a local hospital in Rio Claro, northwest of São Paulo, Brazil on 16 February.
She was later transferred to a burns unit in Limeira.
She had surgery scheduled for Monday (26 Feb).
But she died from a cardiac arrest shortly before the op could take place.
She was laid to rest in Itirapina later that day.
Elisângela leaves behind a husband and a one-year-old daughter.
Good Samaritans have been trying to fundraise to help support them financially.
Even a small amount of water dropped into a pan filled with hot oil will sink to the bottom, become superheated, and erupt.
