Tragic death for 45-year-old woman on her birthday in Russia: she fell 88 metres in front of her son’s eyes while taking a selfie

The accident happened a few minutes after her last bungee jump in St Petersburg

Newsroom September 2 11:06

Tragic death in front of her son’s eyes was met by 45-year-old Elizaveta “Lisa” Guskina when she fell 88 feet while trying to take selfies just seconds after a successful bungee jump.

The tragedy unfolded on the day of the 45-year-old woman’s birthday in Pavlovsk, near St Petersburg, Russia.

The 45-year-old, who was an avid fan of extreme sports, “slipped and fell” from an 88-metre-high abandoned tower from which she had earlier made a spectacular rope jump to celebrate her birthday.
