Between October 2011 and November 2017, at least 259 people died taking selfies around the globe, according to a study published in the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care. Young men made up three quarters of the selfie deaths (about 72 per cent)—in drownings, crashes, falls or shooting accidents.

Researchers found that the most selfie deaths occurred in India, followed by Russia, the US and Pakistan.
