A teenager's fetish for taking selfies on roofs and edge of buildings took his life when he fell to his death from the top of a shopping center in Italy.
Andrea Barone, 15, fell from the third floor of the Sarca shopping centre in Milan and crashed into an air duct at around 10:00 pm on Saturday, MSN quoted Corriere Della Sera report. The newspaper said that Barone and a group of his friends secretly climbed up gates and fences to get to the top of the shopping centre.
However, while descending the building, Barone fell down 40 meters and crashed into the ventilation duct, according to Milano Today. Emergency services were called but the teenager succumbed to his injuries. Barone's Instagram account is filled selfies in dangerous locations such as roofs and edge of buildings.
