Horrifying video shows crowds watching a 15-year-old girl tumbling from a Guatemalan rooftop \u2014 after she was decapitated by a power line while dancing and taking selfies with friends.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

D\u00e9bora Rebeca Xi Artola, 15, was seen on the roof in La Tinta last Thursday with three friends, at least one of whom was snapping pictures, El Heraldo said<\/a> of a video taken by concerned locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group was practicing dance moves on top of the two-story building when Artola hit the high-tension power cable, with the shock of thousands of volts likely killing her instantly, the outlet said.<\/p>

Other footage filmed from down below shows horrified onlookers rushing toward the building as the girl\u2019s body initially rested on the cable, surrounded by smoke.<\/p>

Distressingly, they watched as her head snapped off, sending her plummeting around 20 feet to the pavement below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00e9bora Rebeca\u2019s heartbroken mother, Andrea Xi, shared a tribute to her daughter on Facebook that included a portrait of the beaming girl during her quincea\u00f1era in March.<\/p>
