A California woman slipped and fell to her death while taking selfies at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Wednesday afternoon.
Tu Thanh Nguyen, 32, was hiking solo on the North Country Trail and paused to take selfies near a 200-foot cliff edge that looked over Lake Superior. While taking pictures, she fatally fell into the lake, according to upper-Michigan based television station, WLUC.
Two kayakers witnessed the accident and brought Nguyen to shore, WLUC reported. Emergency services were subsequently contacted, and the National Park Service, Alger County Sheriff’s Office, Alger County EMS and the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the scene.
Nguyen's family was notified of her death.
