Woman unknowingly captures final moments of her fiancé who died while proposing to her underwater

Harrowing footage caught by a woman in 2019 documented her fiancé's last moments after he attempted to pull off a unique proposal.

American Steven Weber had been staying in a submerged cabin at the Manta Resort, in the holiday destination of Tanzania, with his partner, Kenesha Antoine.

She was recording when Weber dived underwater on their third night at the resort, appearing beneath the glass that made up part of the floor in the cabin, with a view into the water below.

The video of the chilling incident has began to go viral once again on X, as Weber can be seen pressing a handwritten proposal note against the glass after Antoine noticed him pop up below, equipped with a mask and fins.

He then presses a hand-written proposal note against the glass for his partner to read, which is concealed in a zip-lock bag.

Antoine, who continued to film, was audibly surprised and thrilled that he carried out the romantic act, laughing with joy as she read the note.

It read: "I can't hold my breath long enough to tell you everything I love about you. But… everything I love about you, I love more every day!"

He then turned the note to pop the question, as it read: 'Will you marry me?'

He then pulled out a ring, and began to make his way back to the surface after his partner had seen it.

Sadly, Weber didn't make it back to the surface alive, as Antoine confirmed her partner's untimely death in a post on Facebook, detailing that he 'never emerged from those depths'.

In this footage from 2019, Steven Weber is seen swimming down to his girlfriend, Kenesha Antoine, who was inside their underwater hotel room in Tanzania.

The Manta Resort sadly confirmed to the BBC that Weber had 'tragically drowned while free diving alone outside the underwater room', saying in a statement: "It is with the deepest regret that we inform that a fatal accident occurred at The Manta Resort on Thursday 19 September, 2019."

CEO of the resort, Matthew Saus, stated that everyone was 'shaken to the core' following Weber's passing.

He told the BBC that staff responded swiftly to a 'problem in the water', but sadly added that 'nothing could be done' by the time they had got there.

The couple booked to stay for four nights at the resort's famous underwater room, which was an estimated 250m from shore, costing approximately £1,300 a night and was also anchored in water 10m deep.

In an emotional Facebook post, Antoine revealed that Weber never got to hear her answer to his question, which she revealed would have been 'a million times, yes'.

She added: "We never got to embrace and celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together, as the best day of our lives turned into the worst, in the cruellest twist of fate imaginable,

"I will try to take solace in the fact that we enjoyed the most amazing bucket list experiences these past few days, and that we both were so happy and absolutely giddy with excitement in our final moments together."
