India is the number one country for selfie-related deaths; the man who just fell off the Cliffs of Moher was an Indian student studying abroad.
Now, the unthinkable happened. An Indian man trying to take a selfie at the picturesque Lodwick Point fell 100-feet into the forest below and survived.
The rescue team, a group of trekkers, reached Vinod, the selfie-seeker, in the forest and realized he was still alive.

However, by the time Vinod got to the hospital to undergo treatment, he passed away.
Officials in the area had already been warning people about the dangers of trying to ascertain the perfect picture near the tall cliff. Unfortunately, Vinod was at the park with his family.
