Hellen Wendy, a Kenyan, has drowned in a swimming pool in Canada while live-streaming herself on Facebook.
Wendy, whose profile on Facebook reveals that she was a nurse residing in Toronto, Ontario was in a mood of happiness moments before the fatal incident which happened recently.
Before she went live, she said: “Nimetoka job, I’m feeling good.”
While responding to viewers’ comments, she wrote: “It’s 2 o’clock here.”
Wendy dived into the waters several meters away from her recording gadget at 5:45 minutes of the live stream.
She kept diving while holding her face under the water for several seconds before swimming back to check comments.
This continued for many minutes till the tenth minute when she took the last leap into what looked like the deep end of the pool.
Wendy started gasping for air at 10:33 minutes as she made gurgle sounds while kicking and screaming in an unyielding effort to swim away from the danger zone.
She made the last sound at 11:54 minutes before it all went quiet.
From that point, the camera rolled for 3 hours before a man came around at the 3:09:00 hour mark.
Some minutes later, another man came around and asked the person in the pool what was in the water.
The man responded by saying: “I thought it’s a poodle or something.”
The other man asked: “What if it’s actually someone dead?”
He checked the pool and confirmed that someone had drowned and he went to call the caretaker of the facility.
