A STUDENT has died after falling off a cliff in Ireland while taking a selfie.

The man, in his 20s, plunged from the famous Cliffs of Moher in County Clare yesterday afternoon.

Irish cops are treating the incident as a “tragic accident” after reports the man was snapping a selfie and slipped.

The cliffs are one of Ireland’s most popular tourist attractions.

The man who died was a foreign national who was studying in Dublin.

An Irish police spokesman said: “The alarm was raised shortly after 3pm when a man was seen falling from the cliff edge.”

The man’s body was later recovered by an Irish Coastguard crew based at Doolin.

His corpse was taken to University Hospital Limerick for a post-mortem.

A file on the incident will be prepared for the local coroner.
