Russian Actress Dies After Being Swept Away by Wave in Thailand

Kamilla Belyatskaya, 24, was meditating on a yoga mat at a scenic Koh Samui viewpoint when a powerful wave pulled her into the sea.

  • Kamilla Belyatskaya, a 24-year-old Russian actress, died after being swept into the sea by a massive wave while meditating at the Lad Koh viewpoint in Koh Samui, Thailand.
  • She had been visiting the island with her fiancĂ©, who was unaware of her plans to visit the viewpoint that day and learned of her death through social media.
  • Rescue teams arrived 15 minutes after the incident but were unable to save her due to dangerous wave conditions, with waves reportedly reaching up to nine feet.
  • Her body was found two days later on Chaweng Noi Beach, approximately two-thirds of a mile from where she was swept away.
  • Local authorities have since closed access to the rocky area below the viewpoint and reiterated warnings about the hazards of monsoon season for tourists in high-risk areas.
