Bride Slumps, Dies While Dancing During Her Wedding Reception
A bride has reportedly slumped and died while dancing at her wedding reception. The sad incident happened in in Douala, Cameroon throwing friends and family members into mourning.
The lady identified as Sorelle Emmanuella Kamga, was joyfully performing at her own wedding reception, when suddenly, she slumped and was later declared dead by medics.
News of her unexpected demise later went viral when the video of her performing with her bridesmaids and husband spraying money at her, circulated on social media platforms.
Invitees were pictured expressing shock as Sorelle, adorned in her beautiful wedding party dress, slumped while singing for her spouse.
According to a photographer who was covering the event, the song she was singing is that of Ivorian artiste, Roseline Layo, titled: ‘Mogo Fariman’.
The celebrant had chosen the song to announce the cutting of the wedding cake, which ceremony did not see the light of day, as her sudden death marred the wedding reception.
The reception hall of Johannesburg Hotel, where the wedding reception was taking place, suddenly went cold, after the sad and shocking incident.
“When it was time to cut the wedding cake, the bride went out to change her attire with her husband. On return to the hall, she took the mic and started singing for her husband. She called her husband to join her on stage. He moved towards her with a cigar in his mouth and began spraying money on her. First, a ten thousand note, a second ten thousand note…when the man threw the third one, that was when she slumped before him and that was all,” the photographer recounted.
“We saw something really serious at the hotel that Saturday. People immediately rushed to rescue the victim. She was rushed to the Adlucem Hospital in Akwa-Nord. There, the medics on service referred her to the Douala General Hospital. It was at the General Hospital that she was clinically declared dead,” he added.
He said, immediately the news of the bride’s demise was announced, the atmosphere at the reception turned gloomy as those who had come to celebrate the wedding suddenly became mourners. Three of the guests reportedly collapsed after receiving news of the bride’s sudden death.
Family sources confirmed that Manuella Kamga and her spouse, Émile, spent seven years together and had three children before this unfortunate wedding.
