Brit dies taking selfie in Sydney
A British teenager is reported to have died while taking selfies on a cliff top near Sydney.
The 18-year-old is believed to have been taking selfies with friends at Cape Solander, just south of the city, when he lost his balance and plunged 10 metres into the sea.
He is the second person to fall and die from the popular tourist spot in the past six weeks.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the unnamed man’s friends called the emergency services, who were unable to revive him.
It is believed the group climbed down from an official viewing platform to a rock ledge above the water.
