A 7-year-old girl tragically lost her life in the Waulalaya neighborhood of Bilwi, Puerto Cabezas, in the northern Caribbean region of Nicaragua. The child, identified as Jaymi Nicole Zapata Zamora , died after accidentally coming into contact with an energized wire in her backyard.
According to neighbors, the incident occurred while Jaymi was playing alone in her yard. Unaware of the danger, the girl touched a live wire, causing an electric shock that left her unable to react. At the time, there was no adult nearby to help her while she was suffering the shock.
It wasn’t until her relatives noticed an eerie silence that they decided to go look for her. What they found was devastating: the little girl lying motionless in a puddle, her tiny body inert after the terrible accident. Her relatives immediately picked her up and took her in a private vehicle to Nuevo Amanecer Hospital, hoping to save her life.
Upon arrival at the hospital, medical staff did everything possible to revive her. However, Jaymi Nicole no longer showed any vital signs and was pronounced dead. The news of her death shocked the Waulalaya community, which deeply mourned the loss of such a young life full of promise.
The little girl’s body lay in state in her humble home, surrounded by family, friends, and neighbors who could not contain their grief and sadness in the face of such a profound tragedy. This Wednesday, the girl was laid to rest in the municipal cemetery, a ceremony marked by the tears and grief of all those who knew and loved her.
This unfortunate event has left the Bilwi community distraught and in a state of mourning. Jaymi Nicole’s family, along with the support of their neighbors, now faces the difficult process of accepting and coping with this sudden and painful loss. Jaymi’s death is a reminder of the danger posed by exposed electrical wires , especially in areas where children play and live their daily lives.
The community has begun to reflect on the need to take stricter safety measures to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again. The importance of inspecting and maintaining electrical installations, especially in areas where children are present, has become critically important in this and other nearby neighborhoods.
Jaymi’s family hopes her story serves as a warning to others, urging everyone to be more aware of the hidden dangers in their everyday surroundings. This little girl’s death has left a deep wound in her community, but also a call to action to improve safety and protect the most vulnerable.
Meanwhile, the Waulalaya neighborhood continues to mourn, remembering Jaymi Nicole as a girl full of life, whose smile and energy brought joy to those who knew her. Her passing leaves a void impossible to fill, but her memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her.
