Model drowns during an underwater photo shoot.
Olivia Ku, 25, drowned during an underwater photoshoot. The Taiwanese model was rushed to the hospital but could not be revived. According to reports, she removed her breathing apparatus for pictures, which forced her to hold her breath underwater.
From the Daily Mail:
Reports said firefighters and members of the local coast guard rushed Ku to hospital where attempts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful.
Ku, a native of Taiwanese capital of Taipei, was reportedly an avid amateur diver with at least three years of experience.
She often shared photos of herself on social media while volunteering to dive in the waters to help pick up refuse from the seabed.
Veteran divers who knew Ku said the mishap should have been avoided, as the Eelin modelling agency should have had professional divers on site during the photoshoot in case of such emergencies.
Ku is survived by her husband and her two young daughters.
