A Portuguese woman identified as Sandra Manuela Da Costa Macedo, was filmed from afar as she tragically fell to her death from the 27th floor of a high-rise block while losing her balance taking a selfie.
The sickening video footage showed her still holding the selfie stick as she plunged to the ground below.
Construction workers on a neighbouring tower block were said to have yelled at her to get down from the railing she was half-sat on before her death plunge, but strong winds blowing at the time meant she couldn’t hear their warning cries.
Paramedics rushed to the scene, a building called the Luxor Tower in a popular neighbourhood of Panama City called El Cangrejo after the alarm was raised just after 10 am local time yesterday.
The 27-year-old had just recently arrived to Panama where she had a job as a teacher, went over a balcony railing she was leaning against as she took the snap.
Portuguese newspaper O Minho, reported that, Macedo was a native of the northern Portuguese town of Aves. She is survived by two children.
A Portuguese woman, Susana Cunha Barros, posted a tribute on Facebook to Macedo, “Sandra… thank you for your contribution in the education of my daughter Helena… Will always be remembered with great affection.”
An onlooker filming the tragedy shouted, “She’s mad, there she goes, look at her, look at her, she’s fallen.”
