Influencer dies at age 32 for trying to take dangerous photo

Sophia Cheung suffered a fatal accident while climbing a waterfall in an attempt to take a selfie and show it to her more than 13K followers on Instagram. The influencer was known for her nature adventures and a free lifestyle, always in search of paradisiacal landscapes around the world. The link in her bio sais "Life should be fun, not silly".
Sophie fell from a five-meter drop into the Tsing Dai River in Yuen Long City, China. She traveled with three other friends to the place, and what was supposed to be a fun adventure ended in tragedy for the group.
