A 15-year-old girl was recently electrocuted and decapitated by power lines
As The Shade Room previously reported, a 15-year-old Guatemalan girl named Débora Rebeca Xi Artola made headlines in August. On August 1, Artola reportedly accompanied three of her friends on a rooftop. The group was reportedly dancing and taking photos when Artolo allegedly hit a “high voltage wire.”
Artola was then shocked and caught on film as her body fell onto the street. In addition, the 15-year-old was reportedly beheaded.
Ultimately, a GoFundMe campaign was launched to raise funds to “start legal proceedings to bring to justice” the people responsible for the 15-year-old's death.
“The authorities in Guatemala claimed that it was a careless accident, but there were several witnesses[es] have different opinions. “Debora had to be pushed to reach the high-voltage cables that cut her head and ended her life,” the campaign description reads.
At this time, no update on the investigation into the tragic incident has been publicly released.
