Trying to Do "Selfie", 15 Year Teenager Killed Fall from 3rd Floor

A 15-year-old teenager in Milan, Italy, was reportedly killed by trying to selfie.

Andrea Barone was killed from the third floor of the Sarca shopping center at 10pm local time on Saturday last week (09/15/2018).

Quoted Newsweek Monday (09/17/2018), Barone and his friends slipped towards the third floor. However, he slipped and fell.

Milano Today reported, he hit the air vent which was about 40 meters from the top of the building.

Paramedic officers who arrived at the location were unable to save him. Barone is known as a teenager who likes to do selfies in dangerous locations.

His social media account shows various photos such as when he selfies from the roof of a building.

There is a slogan on Barone's social media which reads "death is not frightening. We face it directly".

Barone was reportedly a student at the Eugenio Montale engineering institute, and served as captain of the school football team.

Milanino Cusano Mayor Lorenzo Gaiani issued a statement how they were hit by his absurd death.

"We express our condolences to the family of the boy," said Gaiani. The Barone family questioned why there was no security in the building.

Selfies that lead to death or serious injury are reported frequently. Beginning this September, an Israeli teenager was killed in the United States.

The teenager named Tomer Frankfurter was killed from a height of 249 meters while selfie in Yosemite National Park.

A report issued by Carnegie Mellon University said 128 of 213 deaths from selfies between 2014-2018 occurred in India.
