WATCH: Final video of Anndel Taylor goes viral after woman dies in deadly Buffalo snowstorm

On Friday, December 23, 22-year-old Anndel Taylor passed away in her car after being caught in the deadly Buffalo blizzard that has reportedly claimed over 60 lives. According to her family, Taylor was stranded in the snow without any help for over 18 hours.

The student nurse was reportedly on her way home after her shift at a Buffalo hospital when she was caught in the raging winter storm, Elliot. In her final hours, she sent a couple of videos of her surroundings to her family, who had failed to grasp the gravity of the situation until then.

According to the grieving family, Anndel Taylor told them that she was "scared" and sent them two videos of the blizzard. At around 4.15 pm ET, she sent her family the first video which showed the snow-covered windshields of her car. The second video was sent just after midnight on Christmas Eve.

In the video, Anndel Taylor rolled down the frosted windows of her car to show the snow collected outside. Another vehicle with its emergency lights on could be seen stuck in the blizzard near her car.

Anndel Taylor's mother, Wanda Brown Steele, told WSOC-TV that her daughter had called 911 but she passed away before the emergency services could respond. Her sister, Tomeshia Brown, said:

"I feel like everybody that tried to get to her got stuck. Fire department, police, everybody got stuck. Why didn’t they have chains on their tires? This is a state that is known for snow."

Taylor's mother, Wanda Brown Steele, believes that her daughter died of carbon monoxide poisoning. She told the local outlet that Taylor had planned on sleeping through the storm, but she never woke up. she said:

"The car was running, and the snow was still coming, so it blocked the pipes, the exhaust pipe. Then after the car cut off, that’s when she iced up."
