Shocking as couple drown while taking selfie on a seaside Wall

Wonder they say will never end, As two love birds met their waterloo while on vacation.

Michael Kearns, 33-year-old and Louise Benson 37-year-old who went on a vacation in Portugal reportedly drown to their deaths, while taking  selfies on a seaside wall. Authorities say they( the couple ) were either taking a selfie or retrieving a lost item.

Is Deja Vu real?

The seawall has been a popular spot for taking pictures for tourist.


The man and woman, one British and the other Australian, were found on a beach in the town of Ericeira after they reportedly fell early Tuesday.


Portuguese tabloid Correio da Manha reported the wall was about 98 feet tall.

Australian authorities said they were providing assistance to the family of the Australian citizen and coordinating with British authorities regarding the other victim.

Their bodies were initially  discovered by fishermen who thought they were asleep, and later by a beach cleaner who realized they were dead.


How to deal with trust issues

The couple had reportedly left Australia to see the world months earlier, and had recently attended a wedding in Portugal.

According to local reports, this is not the first time tourists have fallen from the wall, and it is not the only such incident of a selfie turned deadly, or nearly did.

In 2015, a tourist died after falling down a flight of stairs while reportedly trying to take a selfie at the famed Taj Mahal site in India.

And just this past April, a woman taking a selfie on the catwalk of the Forest Hill Bridge in Sacramento, Calif., slipped and fell 60 feet, a fall that could have killed her.
