Kenyan woman dies in Canada during live swimming stream on Facebook: A Kenyan woman living in Canada drowned in a swimming pool while live-streaming herself on Facebook.
In the live video that is on her Facebook timeline, Hellen Wendy is seen in a jovial mood on the edges of a swimming pool, unaware of the tragedy she would encounter in less than ten minutes.
“Nimetoka job, I’m feeling good,” she said moments after she went live. It’s 2 o’clock here,” she said.
At exactly 5:45 minutes, Hellen Wendy took a dive in the waters several meters away from her recording gadget, probably a phone.
She kept taking the dives while holding her face beneath the water for several seconds before swimming back to read comments.
This went on for several minutes until the tenth minute when she took the final leap into what appeared like the deep end of the pool.
At exactly 10:33 minutes, Wendy started gasping for air as she made gurgle sounds while kicking and screaming in a futile effort to swim away from the danger zone.

At exactly 11:54, she made the last sound before it all went silent.
From this point, the camera kept rolling for 3 hours before a man came around at the 3:09 hour mark.
Two minutes later, another man came around and asked the one in the pool what was in the water.
“I thought it’s a poodle or something,” he said.
A poodle is a breed of dog with a curly coat that is often ornamentally clipped. Wendy wore a multicoloured swimsuit and had long hair.
“What if it’s actually someone dead?” the other man asked.
He went round the pool and confirmed that it was indeed a person, Hellen Wendy, at which point he went to call the caretaker of the facility.
