A Kenyan woman living in Canada is feared to have drowned while enjoying a swim that she was broadcasting live on Facebook.

In a video that went live on Thursday at 9.21pm Kenyan time, the woman — who uses the Facebook name Hellen Wendy — dives into the pool for some time then came back to her phone, which was positioned by the poolside and capturing her swim, to acknowledge the greetings of friends who were typing their responses.
