Yosemite has been the scene of another deadly fall. The National Park here in California is one of nature’s incredibly natural beauties, and people from miles away come to enjoy the view.
Married couple Meenakshi Moorthy and Vishnu Viswanath were video bloggers who were the latest victims of a deadly fall at Yosemite.
The two victims were trying to get the perfect selfie of a sunset, but lost their footing.
Now, a young lady has stepped forward claiming that she may have some of the tragedy on film.
Check out the eerie photo below.
“Andrea Laguillo shared photos she took with her boyfriend last week at Yosemite National Park. It was only later Laguillo realized, there in the background, the woman with the pink hair (Meenakshi Moorthy) was the same woman Park Officials say fell to her death.
Meenakshi Moorthy, 30, and her husband, 29-year-old Vishnu Viswanath, fell approximately 800 feet below Taft Point, a granite ledge.
Viswanath brother told the Associated Press the couple had set up a tripod near the ledge last Tuesday night. In messages exchanged over Facebook, Laguillo tells ABC7 News she didn’t see Moorthy taking any pictures but noticed her enjoying the view.
She says most people had been watching a slack liner near by. She believes maybe the couple was waiting to take sunset photos. Laguillo says there were less than a dozen people at Taft Point at the time.
Laguillo called the accident tragic and says going to viewpoints her family deems dangerous is what makes her feel the most alive.
A quality that the couple may have shared too. Moorthy wrote a blog called “Holidays and Happily Ever Afters” filled with pictures of exotic locations.
This is just so sad!! Sometimes people get too involved with a selfie.
R.I.P. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
