The father of the Canada – based Kenyan nurse Hellen Wendy confirmed her death and dismissed the claims that she had predicted her death.
In an interview with The Standard, John Nyabuto urged Kenyans to rubbish claims about her daughter on social media.
“I hear some people claiming she had said on WhatsApp that she would soon die in Canada. As her father, she never shared with me any information that suggested she was in distress or any form of trouble,” he said.
Mr. Nyabuto who is a father of six stated that he learned about his daughter’s death on Thursday evening, August 18, after he received a text message from her friend informing him that his daughter had drowned in a swimming pool.
The Canadian Authority had called him informing him that his daughter Wendy was rushed to the hospital and was receiving treatment.
He said the call did not hint to him his daughter why his daughter was hospitalized.
He said that later went to Social media and saw a video that had already gone viral on Facebook of her daughter swimming before she drowned.
Mr. Nyabut said that Hellen Wendy migrated to Canada after she secured a ten-year study visa in 2019.
She started swimming while recording herself and kept diving in the pool while holding her face under the water for several seconds swimming back to where her phone was to come and read the comments.
Wendy who looked happy played with the water for about 10 minutes until she dived into the point that looked like a deep end of the pool.
She started gasping for air and could be heard making gurgling sounds while kicking and screaming.
At 11:54 minutes, she made the last sound as the video went silent and the water remained still.
The video kept recording for 3 hours before an unidentified individual came at around 3:09 hour mark and noticed her in the pool.
