The local divers fished out the bodies and handed them over to their family. The incident is the latest in a string of selfie deaths that have occurred with the rise of smart phones.

A week earlier, a 51-year old German tourist plunged 200 metres to his death while posing for a photo on a mountain side at Peru’s top archaeological site Machu Picchu.
