Russian Actress Kamilla Belyatskaya Gets Swept Away by A Powerful Wave on The Island of Koh Samui, Thailand
A Russian actress who was practicing Yoga on the island of Koh Samui, was swept away by a large wave. The tragic incident was captured in a video, which has now gone viral.
An aspiring Russian actress, 24, lost her life while she was practicing yoga on a rock, in Koh Samui, Thailand.
Kamilla Belyatskaya was being filmed, while she was meditating on the rock. Just moments later, she was swept away by a powerful wave at the Island of Koh Samui.
The tragic video of her being swept away has now gone viral.
She had visited the holiday destination with her boyfriend.
“Kamilla Belyatskaya, 24, was swept away from the spot on Koh Sumui just moments after filming herself on her yoga mat overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. Harrowing footage showed Kamila out in the swirling sea after being hit by a large wave and dragged into the waters,” Dailymail reported.
A bystander dived into the sea to rescue her, however, he was unsuccessful. Rescue operation teams tried rescuing her while she was struggling in the water, however, the mission had to be halted due to bad weather conditions.
“During monsoon season, we constantly warn tourists, especially at high-risk areas like Chaweng and Lamai beaches, where red flags indicate no swimming,” Chaiyaporn Subprasert, head of the Samui Rescue Center, told Khaosad English.
“While the incident location isn't a swimming area but rather a viewpoint for scenery, the victim may have been caught off guard by the unexpected wave surge,” he added.
The Russian actress’s body was found the following evening, less than a mile away, near Impiana Resort.
The point where the tragic incident took place has been closed.
Ironically, the actress loved the spot and always returned to the Island of Koh Samui which she called ‘home’ and 'the best place on earth.’
