Isabella Fracchiolla, a 16 year old Italian teenager tells Italian press has come to die after plunging to her death as she tried to take a selfie while climbing over the railing of a promenade.

On June 6th whilst on a field trip with her school the teen had aspired to capture the visage of the seaside town of Taranto. Attempting to steady herself as she climbed over the railing, Isabella Fracchiolla came to slip, plunging a distance of 60 ft to the ground.

According to authorities the girl would come to suffer injuries to her femur, pelvis and head before being rushed to hospital and undergoing surgery.

Nevertheless doctors were unable to save the girl’s life as she came to die some days later.
