The individual, Paschal Nworgu Tenor, explained on Facebook Messenger that at the hospital, he watched her struggle to breathe right before his eyes.
As she took a breath, he explained that he called the doctor to perform another CPR on her. After this, he noticed something unusual about her lips and tongue.
His statement:
“We had duo plans too; there was no other perfect duet partner aside from you. You left without accomplishing your 2026 plans. I watched you, the closest person in my life, struggle for breath right before my eyes and in my arms. I couldn’t believe that was your last breath, which made me tell the doctor to check again even after they had carried out CPR.”

“It was unbelievable. Your skin was still fresh, even though your tongue and lips had changed in color. But I had a little hope because I was praying, begging God to bring you back. I prayed hard. I prayed the ‘Hail Mary’ many times. I begged you to come back; you always obeyed and listened to me. But this time, you didn’t even move an inch.”
He added that as it happened, he remembered praying and calling her name, but she had already died.

Legit.ng reached out to a therapist to try to understand how the individual might have felt as a result of what he witnessed.
Mr Ogwuche Godwin, a certified therapist, gave his expert opinion on the statement made by Ifunanya's friend.
Speaking about the emotional and mental effects on one's health after witnessing a friend's death,
Mr Ogwuche Godwin had this to say:
"How does witnessing the death of a close friend affect a person’s mental and emotional health?"
"Seeing a close friend die, especially in a dramatic and painful way, can be deeply traumatic. It can leave a person feeling shocked, helpless, guilty, anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed. When you witness someone’s last moments, your brain doesn’t just record facts, it captures emotion, sound, and fear, and that stays with you."
"This kind of experience can affect sleep, concentration, mood, and even trust in life itself. It’s normal for someone in this situation to feel heavy grief, question fairness, or fear losing others. Their heart and mind need time and support to process something so intense."
In the main story, the individual shared what he saw online hours after her death as he replayed the incident in his mind.
The therapist also addressed this as he shared why people who witnessed a friend's death often replay the scenario or scenes in their mind.
He shared:
"People replay those moments because the brain is trying to make sense of something it can’t understand yet. When we see someone we care about struggle or die, our mind keeps going back to those moments, looking for answers or a way to fix what happened."
"This repetition is not a weakness, it’s part of how the brain processes trauma and loss. The mind is trying to understand and absorb a reality that feels unfair, confusing, or incomplete. It’s the brain’s way of seeking closure and safety after a shocking event."
