The mother of two young boys was killed on Friday when she plunged to her death from a waterfall in California.
Martinez said his sister was not taking a selfie, or any photo, at the time of her death, despite a statement by authorities. The North Tahoe Fire Protection district later clarified that Williams was reaching for a tree branch, not taking a photograph, when she fell. "We were saying, 'If anybody could make this fall and survive, it's her, because she's a survivor.' So we were just praying that she was holding onto something, or holding onto life and that she was going to be OK," Martinez said."We later got the call that they found her body and they were doing CPR and she didn't make it."
"This is a sad reminder to be cautious when taking selfies and other photos in dangerous areas," the fire department said."Don't under estimate the power of water falls, rivers, and cold water temperatures."
