Lisbon, Portugal: An Australian couple fell to their death from a wall overlooking a popular tourist beach in Portugal, apparently losing their balance after taking a selfie, a port official said Tuesday.
"Everything seems to indicate that the fall happened when they were probably trying to take a selfie," Rui Pereira da Terra, head of the rescue service in Cascais port near Lisbon, told AFP.
"It seems they dropped their mobile phone and fell down while leaning over to retrieve it," he added.
The beach is ringed by cliffs and a 40-metre high wall.
