14-year-old TikToker from Myanmar falls to death while clicking selfie atop waterfall

Nay was caught in the fast-flowing waters and trapped between two large boulders, as reported by the local media. She could not free herself and drowned in the strong current. Rescuers could not reach there in time and had difficulty removing her body from the rocks the next morning.

Volunteers and firefighters struggled to free the girl’s body on July 23. They eventually used ropes to pull her from the rocks. Another girl had also slipped onto the rocks but escaped with minor injuries, according to the rescue workers.

Rescue workers took her body to Paung Township General Hospital for a postmortem.
