The two medical students accused of mocking a transplant patient have posted an apology video amid an investigation for slander.
Gabrielli Farias de Souza and Thaís Caldeiras Soares Foffano shared a video on TikTok discussing the three heart transplants that 26-year-old Vitória Chaves da Silva had undergone at the Heart Institute (InCor) in São Paulo, Brazil.
The students claimed that one transplant was unsuccessful because Vitória, who passed away nine days after the video was posted, had not taken her medications correctly.
