Tragically, a man has died during a baptism ceremony being live-streamed on Facebook in Erdington, Birmingham. It is reported that the man, who was in his 60s, suffered from a medical emergency shortly after 1.30 pm on Sunday.
Apostle Cheryl Reid Bartley, who leads the Life Changing Ministries, referenced the man, Robert Yap, in an hour-long Facebook message on Monday. She said that he had joined the church four years ago and had Parkinson's Disease. He had travelled more than 300 miles to be baptized, which was the first scheduled for the service, but others were carried out afterwards.
Police have arrested a 46-year-old woman on suspicion of manslaughter and released her on bail. A post-mortem examination will be carried out to determine the cause of death while detectives investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
This is a truly tragic event and our thoughts are with Robert Yap's family at this time.
