An Instagram star in Hong Kong plummeted to her death while trying to pose for a selfie next to an enormous waterfall.

As New York Post reports:

A Hong Kong Instagram star tragically plummeted to her death after she slipped while snapping a selfie at a waterfall.

The shocking incident occurred after Sofia Cheung, 32, and three friends embarked on a trip to Ha Pak Lai park around 11 a.m. Saturday, the Sun reported. The influencer had decided to take selfies at the edge of a waterfall at the park’s Pineapple Mountain site — a locale popular with hikers at sunset — when she apparently lost her footing and fell into the 16-foot pool below.

Cheung’s horrified friends promptly called emergency services, who quickly arrived and whisked the woman to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival, according to the Sun.

The intrepid gal had frequently posted pics of herself posing on the edges of steep cliffs to her Instagram account, where she included the tagline, “Life should be fun not dumb.”

The star had made a habit of posting pictures of herself overlooking the edges of cliffs and other dangerous locations.

I’m on Instagram… How is it that I’m not a “star?” A “SUPER star.” Well, I think I know the answer.

1) I’m not a Liberal, a Marxist, or any other type of America Hater. 2) Even with fur covering my entire glorious naked body, I don’t go naked in public; 3) I don’t put God ‘to the test.’ Finally, 4) There is no paycheck which can compensate for losing a battle with gravity.

I get that she did a stupid thing but come on people! Are you all really that heartless. She was still a human being that her friends/family loved. Where is the compassion. Geez.

You are so sure right. You other people should be ashamed of yourselves. Sympathy to her family and friends.

As they say….The fall didn’t kill her. It was the sudden stop. What a shame that being noticed is worth risking your life for.
