She was holding her one-year-old son, Rylee, and telling the audience about how she planned to go back to school when she suddenly began wiping her face and shaking.
She was then sweating profusely when she fell to the ground and struggled to breathe.

Her uncle told The Washington Post that this happened when about 20 people were watching.
"Then maybe seven or eight minutes into the video, she passed out," he said.
Her 1-year-old child picked up Herndon's phone from the floor and began playing with it.
But the family is shocked as to how no one called the police or tried to check on the dying woman.
"It's amazing for someone to sit there and see somebody or hear them take their last breath, and nobody did anything," said the woman's father.

Herndon's friend returned home about half an hour later and found her passed out. The friend is said to have called 911, but she was late as Herndon was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The woman’s family has, however, indicated that Herndon was suffering from a thyroid condition for years, which was known only to her family and closest friends.
