A video that captured Russian actress Kamilla Belyatskaya being swept away by massive sea waves while she was doing yoga on a rocky cliff is making rounds on the internet.
Photos captured before the incident happened show the 24-year-old meditating on a yoga mat atop a rock at the seashore while a CCTV footage showed her being washed away by the raging ocean. Video below:
Unfortunately, massive waves knocked her out of her safe zone and dragged her farther inside the ocean as captured on a camera. By the time the rescue team could arrive 15 minutes later, she was nowhere to be found.
Her dead body was later discovered days later at a nearby hotel.
A bystander reportedly tried to rescue her, but he too was taken by the ocean and his body is yet to be recovered.
Kamilla Belyatskaya’s death came days before her wedding. Her devastated fiancee said he got wind of her loss on social media, however, he kept hope alive and was praying for a miracle.
Prior to her death, Belyatskaya had made a post on the exact same spot that saw her life taken away. Therein, she said the scene, located on the island of Koh Samui, close to the Gulfside of Thailand, was the best thing she had seen in her life.
Local media said the rescue efforts were suspended due to dangerous waves. Chaiyaporn Subprasert, the head of the Samui Rescue Center said that Belyatskaya did not go against any regulation and there was no sign that indicated the area was a “no swim zone”. He only noted that the actress might have been pushed off by an unexpected wave surge.
On June 6, massive waves also snatched a woman from the hands of her boyfriend while the two were strolling along a beach in Sochi, Russia. The heartbreaking video showed the man trying in vain to rescue her, at a point, risking being swept away himself.
