With varying versions of how the late dancer and video vixen, Picture Kodak died floating around the media space, one of the crew members of video
Recall that three days ago, news broke of the death of dancer and video vixen, Kodak died from an electric shock while charging her phone in the home of Clarence Peters in Omole Phase 1 estate. Besides the fact that Clarence and some of the people who were there have been invited by the Lagos Police Command to answer questions, a full-scale investigation has began which will be concluded with an autopsy.
The crew member by name Melvn, revealed that the incidence didn’t occur in Clarence’s house but rather at the studio and that Clarence wasn’t even there at the time it happened. He was said to have been in his office upstairs of the building working while the incidence happened down stairs where the studio is located.
According to Melvn, he was at the rehearsal room with Kodak and a colleague of hers just clowning around but soon after left them and headed to the studio to spend time with a colleague of his, all within the same premises. Shortly after, Kodak walked into the studio sweaty, no shoes on and pressing her phone. She was followed by some of her fellow dancers. She headed straight to a mobile extension box meant for the lighting department. The extension box as is common with those kinds of boxes, come with multiple sockets, all wired to carry voltage meant for heavy lighting for shootings.
Melvn said Clarence had warned them on several occasions to never plug their phones either in the studio or even on sets on the extension box. However, some of the video vixens and dancers who work with Clarence would never adhere to the instructions necessitating Clarence to always seize their phones each time they are set.
So it was that on that day as Kodak walked in with her fellow dancers, she headed straight for the mobile extension box and sat on the floor near it. The next thing they all heard was a bang. When they looked at the direction the bang came from, it was where Kodak was sitting. Melvn said he saw sparks from her phone which was by now on her chest as she laid on the floor. All of them in the studio rushed towards her and that was when they realized she had been electrocuted.
A colleague of his picked-up her phone but quickly threw it on the floor because he felt a shock. Melvn said he kicked the extension box away from her and they all carried her away from the place. They all tried to revive her but she was responding with gasps as they all kept fanning her and pouring milk into her mouth. At this time, Melvn said he rushed out to call for help and equally notify Clarence who quickly rushed down from his office while Kodak kept fighting for her life.
She was immediately driven to a hospital within the estate but the hospital refused to open their gate, perhaps for fear that she was a Covid-19 patient. They had to drive to another hospital outside the estate where they were thankfully allowed in. Unfortunately, there was no doctor around to attend to her. The nurse on duty kept telling them the doctor was on his way until she breathed her last. The doctor finally came and after checking for pulse, pronounced her dead.
Advising Nigerians, Melvn admonished anyone who uses a phone with a metal casing to get a phone pouch to avoid any ugly incidence with electricity and to never use headphones while charging a phone. He also advised against plugging ones phone when the body is wet or too sweaty.
