impaled
No, we don’t have to worry about the former President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff. We can give the all-clear: Dilma was not assassinated and she was not impaled like a hand for this photo, because, as is so often the case, this picture is also just an optical illusion.
Incidentally, the politician was in office from January 2011 to August 2016 and was the first woman in Brazil to have held this position. However, Dilma was elevated to office because she was accused of not handling state finances properly. She herself has denied the allegations.
