Kenyan woman drowns in Canada while live streaming herself swimming on Facebook

A Kenyan woman on Thursday drowned in a pool in Toronto, Canada, while live-streaming her swimming session on Facebook.

The woman identified as Hellen Wendy, was reportedly working as a nurse in Toronto based on her Facebook profile which states she graduated from the Toronto Metropolitan University after studying oncology nursing at Pwani University.

In the video seen by Citizen Digital, Wendy appears to be in high spirits as she swims from one side of the pool to other, regularly taking intervals after each circuit to respond to comments and answer questions fielded on her live-stream chat.

She appeared to be using a mobile phone to record the swimming session.

Three minutes into the slightly over three-hour-long video, Wendy moves towards the camera and states she is having the time of her life in the Justin Trudeau-led nation.

"How are you guys doing? Long time no see. Its 2:30pm here and I am just enjoying myself before summer comes to an end," Wendy is heard saying.

"How is life for you guys now that UDA won the elections?"

She made subsequent trips from her side of the pool to the other but 10 minutes and 30 seconds into the video, Wendy can be seen struggling to stay afloat after she seemingly strayed into the deep end of the pool.

The deceased attempted to make a dash for the side of the pool but she began to slowly submerge. She can be heard gasping for air before her cries for help went silent.

All this time her phone was still recording.

Her body was discovered almost three hours later by two men who appeared to have had access to the said swimming pool. None of them imagined that Wendy was the one at the bottom of the pool.

"That looks so realistic, it scared the hell out of me but I think it's a poodle. Does that freak you out or what?" one of the men can be heard asking his companion when he noticed Wendy's corpse at the bottom of the pool.

The other man interjected noting that the unidentified object looked too realistic and similar to a human being and upon further inspection they discovered the deceased's body. 

Her body was retrieved and ferried to a local morgue pending postmortem.
