TEENAGE BOY FALLS TO HIS DEATH WHILE TAKING EXTREME SELFIE

A boy in Russia fell to his death while trying to take an ‘extreme selfie’ from the roof of a nine-story building. The teenager, identified only as Andrey R, had climbed to the top of the building in Vologda, to add one more selfie to his collection of photographs in dangerous places. As he attempted the picture, Andrey slipped and was fell.

He was rushed to the hospital but doctors were unable to save him due to his extensive and severe injuries. The teenage boy was in his last year at high school and was thinking of applying to university.

His social media profile is full of pictures of him posing on rooftops or balancing on steel girders on top of buildings. Friends had warned him that he was putting his life at risk, it seems the thrill of a great selfie was what mattered at the time.
