Olesia Suspitsina (31) from Kazakhstan recently celebrated the end of the coronavirus lockdown with a hike. She climbed a cliff and asked her friend to take a photo of her, but sadly, the posing ended fatally. She slipped and fell off the cliff, plummeting straight to her death.
The accident happened in Duden Park in Antalya, Turkey this Sunday. How the woman from Kazakhstan got to Turkey in the middle of the pandemic created some confusion, but Sputnik Turkey explains that Olesia lived in the area. According to the New York Post, she had worked there for five years as a tour guide.
When the lockdown was proclaimed over, Olesia went to the park with her friend near Duden Park’s waterfalls. “We came to the park in the evening, we drank wine,” her friend told News 1. “Then we were talking to a friend on the video.” Olesia reportedly asked her friend to take a photo of her while she was video-chatting. She climbed the safety barrier, and she reportedly slipped on wet grass, falling off the 115 feet high cliff.
Olesia’s friend called the authorities, who found Olesia’s body in the water below. Multiple sources write that her death was ruled an accident.
When the lockdown is over, I’m sure most of us will hurl to the forests, cliffs, and mountains. I know I will, being in nature what I miss the most. But it doesn’t mean we should become reckless. Cases like this remind us that no photo is worth risking our lives. And I believe that the “stay safe” mantra should stick around even after the coronavirus is behind us.

Well it was the end of something
‘She climbed the safety barrier’ – It was at this moment she knew, she had fucked up.
Well she had been drinking, so…
You’d hope a tour guide would know better, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯. But then, last week I ran right through a stop sign at a 4-way intersection I’ve navigated a million times — lucky for me most people were sheltering at home and I didn’t t-bone or get t-boned. I hadn’t been drinking, just spacing out. There but for the grace of something or another go I.
Good
Will she be taken into account as a victim of the covid?
Gérard Quetsch maybe you didn’t read the article before commenting… this happened to a Kazakh woman in Turkey.
I did. This was perfectly clear.
Well, at least she didn’t die from Covid-19.
I’m sure all you haters never did anything stupid your whole life. But hey, if cheering about this makes you feel better about yourself, carry on…
I agree, very sad comments indeed!!
To be fair, they never did anything so stupid they killed themselves. Or, they wouldn’t be here to comment. :)
Some wine, need to selfie, seeing one as being above common sense. Then add in some wet grass and enough height (thanks to Mother Nature) and we actually have death by Darwinism suicide.
