An Australian couple fell to their death apparently losing their balance after taking a selfie, who were on a wall overlooking a popular tourist beach in Portugal, APA port official said Tuesday.
“Everything seems to indicate that the fall happened when they were probably trying to take a selfie,” Rui Pereira da Terra, head of the rescue service in Cascais port near Lisbon, told.
“It seems they dropped their mobile phone and fell down while leaning over to retrieve it,” he added.

The fatal accident took place in the coastal town of Ericeira, a popular surfing spot 30 kilometres (18 miles) from the Portuguese capital.
The beach is ringed by cliffs and a 40-metre high wall. It was not the first time that tourists had fallen off the wall.
