Nigerian masseuse Joyce Ijeoma has spoken out after collapsing during the live Instagram stream of her 72-hour massage-a-thon challenge..

The young woman successfully completed 53 hours of her challenge on Monday, leaving her with 19 hours to complete it. But on Tuesday at exactly one in the morning, she tragically passed away.

She collapsed while giving a female client a massage, and a brief online video clip of the incident has since surfaced.

Her assistant was by her side in the live video when she suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground. The assistant immediately made a call for help and started trying to revive her.

Following the incident, Ijeoma updated her followers on her health condition and response to treatment via her official Instagram page on Wednesday.

Joyce promised her followers that she would promptly give them more updates in the near future.

She wrote,

“I want to thank God, everyone, for the love and support during my world record attempt.

I want to let everyone know that I’m getting proper care, and I will update you on the progress in due time.”
