Officials in the city of Mato Grosso, Brazil are investigating a couple for potentially contaminating a main water source for the state during a gender reveal party. One of the couple’s relatives allegedly added blue dye to a 59 foot waterfall in the Queima Pe river.
In videos from the event that have no gone viral, the waterfall is seen in an unnatural shade of blue, indicating that the couple are expecting a boy.
