The Tragic Story of Débora Rebeca Xi Artola: What Really Happened?

 

In this video, we explore the heartbreaking story of Débora Rebeca Xi Artola, a young girl from Alta Verapaz, Guatemala, who tragically lost her life just before her 15th birthday.

Débora Rebeca Xi Artola, 15, was seen on the roof in La Tinta last Thursday with three friends, at least one of whom was snapping pictures, El Heraldo said of a video taken by concerned locals.

The group was practicing dance moves on top of the two-story building when Artola hit the high-tension power cable, with the shock of thousands of volts likely killing her instantly, the outlet said.
