She has spoken of how her happiest moment turned into her most tragic.

Steven Weber from Louisiana swam up to the window of the room submerged ten meters below the sea off Pemba Island where his girlfriend Kanesha Antoine looked on.

He pressed a note to the glass saying he didn’t have enough breath to tell her how much he loved her.

Then he showed her the ring.

What happened next is unclear. Steven did not surface and his dead body was recovered.

Kanesha says would have replied a million times yes to his proposal.

US diplomatic officials express their sadness that this tragedy should have befallen the couple on an idyllic holiday.
