What happened to Ekaterina Didenko dry ice party dumping?

While small amounts of dry ice dropped in water produces a fun fascinating effect of overflowing fog from its container, such large amounts of water and dry ice mixed together may have the same effect but present health hazards.

Guests started to feel dizzy, and unable to breathe. Some even reported chemical burns.

Reports said that people had started to asphyxiate as the oxygen was possibly replaced by carbon dioxide, and made it difficult for anyone in that area to breathe.

Two people died at the scene, Natalia Monakova and Yuri Alferov, both 25. Other guests rushed Ekaterina and her husband Valentin to the hospital, where she woke up and spoke on her Instagram Stories first, saying initially that she only knew her husband was in intensive care.

She said in her Instagram stories, “I am alive, I am behind the doors of an intensive care ward.”

Later on, she reported that she was stable but that her husband didn’t make it. Russian reports online said that she tearfully told her followers, “Valya is not with us any more.

“I did not cry yesterday. Today I just exploded. I thought it was not true, it was a nightmare.”

Further reports mentioned that the three people who died (Valentin included) were all in the water when the dry ice was dumped into it.

High volumes of solid carbon dioxide (which is what dry ice actually is) mixed with water can create a vapor that could fill the body with too much carbon dioxide. This could lead to asphyxiation.

According to reports online, the other two victims in the incident died from pulmonary oedemas after breathing the vapor.

She also included a conversation with the daughter she shared with her husband.

“Nastya woke up today – ‘Where is daddy?’ I do not know what to say to her.

“She is asking me: ‘Why are you crying?’”
