Zoe Snoeks slipped off the precipice near the village of Nadrin in the province of Luxembourg on Tuesday and landed in the Ourthe River, Newsflash reported, citing the public prosecutor’s office.

Her body was recovered by a team of rescuers that included police, firefighters, scuba divers and members of the Groupe de Recherche et d’Intervention en Milieu Perilleux, or Perilous Environment Reconnaissance and Intervention Group.

“Taking photos was her passion. I immediately unlocked her phone and saw that she had taken a photo on the cliff edge. Her very last selfie,” the grieving hubby said.

“Zoe is looking straight ahead. You can also see the mist and the river where they finally found her body,” he added.

She’s not holding a camera, so I’d say she’s disqualified.

Is the the last pic? If so, how did she land in that river? If it is, she’d have to bounce all the way down the hill, and bounce across the highway, then bounce through a bush line then bounce into the river. Maybe this is the 2nd to last pic.

I agree. Looks like she would have had to push back to get to the river!
We’ll see!

Morgana the Kissing Bandit…

Wow…I’d almost forgotten about her. She showed up at an Astros game waaay back in the 80s when they played at the Dome. I was at that game with friends. I think she kissed Nolan Ryan. Caused quite a sensation.

She died doing something she loved.

Falling to her death?

Do you know how many people injure or kill themselves taking selfies?

Reminds me of the story I read in the book Death in Yellowstone.This happened back in the 1980s before digital photos. A young man in his late 20s or early 30s (typical gender & age of accidental deaths in National Parks) was viewing the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and handed his film camera to another tourist and asked him to take his photograph as he climbed over the railing and started down an embankment to the edge of the cliff. The tourist took a series of photos of him, even after he slipped on the steep slope and tumbled over the edge plummeting some 400 feet to his death.

We're all going to die. I guess it's nice to go out doing what you love.

Re: Pic in post #3

If she landed in the river; then maybe she rolled down to the roadway, got hit by a bus, then landed in the river?

Don’t they still have REAL cameras that you can attach to a cable and take a picture of yourself many feet away?

that’s how we used to do it before cellphones...

Sure. And timers. There may even be a timer on her phone that allows her to trip it and get in the picture within x seconds.

Just checked. My ancient phone has 3 and 10 second delays. Running and posing in a hurry on top of a cliff may not be a good idea, though.
