University student dies trying to take photo on rocky outcrop

Andrea Norton was reportedly trying to reposition herself when she fell from a well-known rock formation in the Ozark–St. Francis National Forest in Arkansas.

The young woman fell from the Hawksbill Crag, also known as Whitaker Point, according to police. The dramatic rocky outcrop is a tourist hotspot known for resembling the beak of a hawk. Ms Norton had been studying environmental science at the university in Sioux City, Iowa, and was a volleyball player on the university team. She also sang in the university choir.

“Our deepest condolences and prayers go to the family and friends of BCU student Andrea Norton,” the university wrote in a statement.

Ahh selfies... the people who run the Darwin Awards must be so overworked these days.

How many more people are going to kill themselves in this manner, it's sad.
