A post shared by Drews??? (@drewsssik) on Aug 25, 2015 at 4:11pm PDT This love for extreme selfies lead Audrey his untimely death. Andrey had apparently planned to use a rope to take a picture that made it look like he was falling from the roof. Unluckily for him, as he went over the edge the rope snapped and he fell nine storeys, falling in shrubbery which broke his fall. He was rushed to a local hospital but died two hours later despite frantic efforts to save him. Andrey who goes by the Instagram name was “drewsssik” had been warned by his friends against taking such risks while attempting to take selfies but to no avail. Below are some examples of Andrey’s recklessness.
