A man who fell 300ft (91m) to his death from the top of a cliff was posing for a photo at the time, holding on to a tuft of grass, coastguards said.
The "tragic accident" at Seaton in Devon on Sunday afternoon was witnessed by the 39-year-old Polish man's friends and nearby tourists.
The victim was found in bushes at the foot of Beer Hill and rescuers said he would have been killed instantly.

After descending into Beer village, the path leads up a hilly road to the Coastguard Station.

A helluva thing. Maybe they could embed a solar-powered MPEG player in the deceased's headstone, so his friends could relive the moment on any sunny day they come to pay their respects.
Hell, I'd do it. LOL

...holding on to a tuft of grass... How could someone reach adulthood (or, heck, even reach the age of 5) and NOT know that "tufts of grass" have a tendency to give way and can not be relied upon to hold one's weight?

You guys are too cold, making fun of a dead man.
Still, I wonder what was the last thing to go through his mind before he hit the rocks below?

Hey, can “anyone” tell me why “pissant” keeps picking “on” me?
I try to be “good” but when I “post” he always is like “hey dude” and I’m like “dude”!
I “only” want “to” fight the “dirty” stinking-communists and “I’m” doing a great job!.
I’m one of you...I’m a “wingnut” “lunatic” just like you guys.
