The incident occurred while the woman was dancing to the sound of a locally beaten drum as part of a community entertainment event. It was reported that the masquerade performer suddenly collapsed in the middle of the performance, bringing the gathering to an abrupt hal

For me, what happened in Freetown to the woman participating in the masquerade performance is a painful reminder of how life can change in an instant. Personally, I believe these traditional celebrations have enormous cultural value because they unite the community and preserve identity, but they also remind us that those who participate put their heart and soul into every performance. The striking thing is that, amidst the music and joy, an unexpected event can transform the atmosphere into one of sadness and bewilderment. For me, the most important takeaway is that this incident should prompt reflection on the importance of protecting the health of performers and ensuring that support measures are in place at public events. Ultimately, I think the community should honor her memory and continue celebrating its traditions with respect and responsibility.

There could be several reasons to this, it's possible she might have had some health issues she is not even aware of, or the stress of her performance could also be a reason.
