Woman plunges 27 floors to her death while attempting to take the perfect selfie
A woman died after falling 27 floors down a high-rise block as she lost her balance while taking a selfie, and the footage of the same has now gone viral on social media. The victim, identified as 27-year-old Sandra Manuela Da Costa Macedo, was leaning against a balcony railing in an attempt to take the photo but lost her footing while doing the same. The video footage from the incident showed the victim still holding the selfie stick during her freefall towards the ground. "She's mad, there she goes, look at her, look at her, she's fallen," an observer filming the disturbing footage shouted.
The incident took place in a building called the Luxor Tower in the popular neighborhood of El Cangrejo in Panama City. Paramedics rushed to the scene after the alarm was raised at around 10 am local time but found that the woman was already dead. While the victim was initially identified as a Portuguese holidaymaker who had just arrived in Panama, a woman who described herself as a friend later revealed online that she was, in fact, a mother-of-two who was in the country to work as a teacher, Daily Mail reports.
