Elle Grinnell- more than 250 people around the world have died taking selfies since 2011

around 259 people have died worldwide by taking selfies which is shown by a study that was published in the journal of family medicine and primary care. The found that most of the incidents occur in India then Russia, the United States, and Pakistan and most of these victims were men under the age of 30 years old. drowning is one of the major causes of selfie deaths because people are often washed away by a wave or fall of a boat. In the us the biggest cause of selfie deaths is using a firearm such as posing with a gun.
honestly, I feel like some of these things are just common sense and stupidity such as posing with a gun or standing on a really tall building. others are truly just accidents with people just trying to get a photo. overall, people are way too absorbed in their phone and need to start living in the moment a but more.
