From the Grand Canyon to the California coastline, the social network accounts of the Indian couple Wiesvanas and Minash Moses are filled with beautiful scenery along the way. The travel-loving men and women have more than 10, 000 fans on instagram. However, their accounts will never be updated again. The Indian couple found two bodies in the park last week, the Yosemite Scenic confirmed last week. They were suspected to have died of selfie, falling 300 metres from the ground on a cliff.
Vesvanas and Moses took pictures in the Grand Canyon.
Relatives say the two met in India and recently emigrated to Silicon Valley, where they have registered to marry and plan to return to India for a wedding next year. Wiesvanas is a talented student in artificial intelligence and big data, who was recently hired by Cisco. Because Moses didn't get a work visa, he was focused on recording video and taking pictures.
Moses' account is called "Holiday, Happy Life". The account was full of photos taken by the two during their trip. In a picture of the Grand Canyon, Moses is photographing his camera on a steep cliff. However, her description of the photo is a counterexample of herself.
"are we chasing the sunset, or are we chasing likes?. Many of us are daring to die, but do you know that a gust of wind can be fatal on these cliffs or skyscrapers? Our lives are worth only one photograph? " Some people believe that this proves that the two people are usually more cautious.
The cause of the deaths is still under investigation. On the day of the suspected incident, a tourist accidentally photographed Moses-she looked closer to the cliff than any other tourist. The cliff also found the photographic equipment left behind by the two men. Chris, a university professor who taught Vesvanas, said: "the reason is still under investigation. But who knows? Maybe a deer or a bear came running. "
From October 2011 to November 2017, there were 259 "selfie deaths" reported globally, according to a recent survey. Most of the dead are between the ages of 10 and 29. The most common cause of death is drowning, a car accident, falling from a height.
