A 24-year-old student recorded her own death on video while broadcasting live on the Facebook in a swimming pool in Canada.
The case was recorded on Thursday (18), when Helen Nyabuto, a Kenyan who was studying nursing in the United States, entered the pool to swim.
Around 2 p.m., she kicked off the show, chatted with her followers for a few seconds, and left the picture to swim into a deeper part.
According to Canadian website CBC, in the video posted to Hellen’s Facebook, the woman can be heard screaming for help seconds after disappearing from the frame. She stops talking and the broadcast continues until 5 p.m., when another hotel guest finds the woman’s body in the pool and ends the video.
According to Ontario police, the incident was recorded shortly before 5:45 p.m., more than half an hour after the guest found the student’s body in the pool.
Rescue procedures were applied to the woman, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
To bring the girl’s body back to Kenya, Helen’s relatives created a virtual crowdfunding. In three days, they collected 54,000 Canadian dollars (equivalent to R$212,000), enough to transfer his body, which was buried over the weekend.
According to the Ontario police, steps are underway to have the videos illustrating the death of the student, widely publicized, removed from social networks out of respect for the family of the young woman.
