Arkansas mom's accidental death captured on Facebook Live

A young Arkansas mother's final moments were streamed on Facebook Live as friends watched helplessly from afar.

25-year-old Keiana Herndon went live from a friend's home in 2017, where she was staying with her young son.

The video starts out with Keiana singing. You see and hear her respond to viewers and even put the spotlight on her son.

A few minutes later, Keiana falls and the phone drops out of her hands.

This occurred on the 28th of December, 2016. According to some news reports, Keiana had thyroid cancer that she kept quiet about. As those familiar with thyroid illnesses, the heart gets affected. Not everyone knew exactly where Keiana lived. The only ones to know would have been family and close real friends. We don't know exactly if any in that category were watching.
Lesson here is if anyone with a condition serious enough that can affect one's breathing and or heart, please look into a medical alert button service. Worn on one's wrist or neck, just one click of the button will send help almost immediately 24/7.
It is a peace of mind also if one has a loved one that is a senior and living alone. We certainly can not rely on Facebook or other social media sites. It's not that most don't care, people on the whole do, but most are unaware of personal information.

A lot of people are wondering why her family members are smiling when talking about her. People smile thinking about the good times & good things they had with that love one. They chose to think about the good times not negative or the way that person passed away.

What was accidental about her unfortunate passing? It was unexpected....sudden...and sad; but, accidental isn't the best way to describe it. Accidental doesn't happen when someone dies from natural causes. So sad for her and her family.

This is what gets me all the people these days who will sit and watch and not do anything

Father God, please care for this family in Jesus name, amen.

THYROID CAUSED HEART TO STOP SUDDENLY! That's what happened.

[deslee]

It’s crazy because I have a thyroid condition and during the summer I often get dazed, confused and PASS OUT OFTEN. Nobody ever takes it serious but me and whenever I’m walking and I tell somebody I have to take a break, they get irritated with me. I never know what my thyroid might do to me I often get scared because I feel like it could be my demise as well

[iitocaxlove]

This is so upsetting it’s heartbreaking that she was so young and her children had to witness her death

[KingD-light]

I'm so sorry that this father and her babies had to lose their beautiful daughter/mom so young. It's such a heartbreaking tragedy.

People watch and pull out their phones to record but don’t do anything to help. So sad.

[amariethomp]

So sad. Reminds me of the ppl watching a man drown, filmed it and didn't call for help, laughing. Just horrible. Prayers to her family.

I can hear the extreme pain in her father's voice as he mentioned how people sat there and watched but didn't act.

This is so scary. I suffer from hyperthyroidism. Recent ultrasound of my throat revealed a colloid cyst. Still undergoing labs. But never thought thyroid issues could kill you

[soraya]

Unexpected. My deepest condolences to her friends and family. So sorry for your loss.❤
