News24xx.com - Selfie is a thing that seems to be liked by many people. Selfie activity is fun, especially when done together. Everyone wants to capture the figure of himself or herself in a photo and always remember the moment that ever happened. That's why selfie is needed.

It's just that some people judge if the selfie should happen with cool photo. Because of such demands, there are some of them who have risked their lives in order to obtain maximum selfie results. As a result of death events due to self-portraits often occur because the action is done recklessly.

Like the case of this tourist. Jiri Barta, 32 years old, travelled to the beauty spot on Thai island Koh Samui on Thursday, February 22 2018 with a group of eight other holidaymakers, including one Briton.

At that time, the man shuffled to the edge of a cliff next to the Khun Sri waterfall while a friend took a photograph. However he then lost his footing and plunged to his death in front of his horrified friends at around 12pm. The man from Czech fell to his death while posing for a picture on top of a 100ft waterfall. His friends rushed down and desperately battled to resuscitate him without success.

Rescue workers arrived a short time later and he was pronounced dead at the scene before being taken to hospital for a post mortem examination. Another tourist who also the friend of Barta named Romana Uassara, 30 yo, said the group had arrived in Thailand on February 5 and they had rented five motorcycles to travel around the island.

Boonchai Wannawatchanasuntorn of Koh Samui’s tourist police, said rescuers spent five hours to found Barta's body.

Wannawatchanasuntorn said: ‘There is a forbidden sign to entering that we makes in Thai and English language that barring people from entering, but tourists keep ignoring it. And they always decide to come to that waterfall. Accidents happened often because the slope is very steep, at almost 90 degrees, and it is very slippery. Not only that, the treacherous waterfall also caused a series of falls."

In July 2017, Eastenders star Paul Nicholls must spent three days after trapped at the waterfall when he falling on the slippery surface.

The actor survived in humid mosquito-plagued temperatures by drinking water from the stream before he was rescued with a shattered knee.

And before, a British man who fell down a waterfall In Koh Samui and was found after being missing in the jungle for three days in June 2017.Gerrard Greenhoff, 38, broke his leg in the fall, but managed to survive by drinking stream water until he was found.

A local in the area spotted his motorbike parked near a path that led to the Khun Sri falls. The bike’s license plates were then run and they determined that the bike belonged to the missing British man.

It took a search team several hours to find him as the area was very remote. When teams eventually found the man he was suffering from exhaustion as he had not eaten anything for three days and drank only stream water.

It took the medical teams over two hours to bring the man up a steep path from where they found him. He was then taken to Koh Samui Hospital; doctors have said that he was in a serious condition but responding to treatment.
