    Couple plunges to their deaths while taking selfie on vacation

    A couple trying to take a selfie at a popular tourist spot in Portugal plunged nearly 100 feet to their deaths, authorities said.
    Australian Michael Kearns, 33, and his British girlfriend Louise Benson, 37, were standing on a wall overlooking the picturesque Praia dos Pescadores beach in Ericeira early Tuesday, when their phone slipped, Perth Now reported.?Everything seems to indicate that the fall happened when they were trying to take a selfie,? said Ruis Pereira da Terra, the head of the rescue service in Cascais port near Lisbon. ?It seems they dropped their mobile phone and fell down while leaning over to retrieve it,? he added.
    Fishermen in the area thought the pair was simply sleeping on the beach but discovered a ?horror scene? when they approached, describing the couple?s bodies as ?shattered? to local paper Journal de Noticias.

    Tourists have plunged from the wall before and locals have asked for security measures to be implemented, according to the Telegraph UK.

    Another selfie death it's weird how they both reached for the phone and fell over.

    I read on another site that this supposedly happened between 1 am - 6 am. If I'm on vacation, I certainly don't have the best balance (or judgement) during that time period.

    I am wondering if one reached, started to fall, and the other either tried to grab for them or maybe the person slipping reached and took the other with them.

    I want to know if they were able to take the picture. The picture would be awesome for our Final Images thread. In all seriousness though, I'm afraid of heights, this is one of the reasons. =(
