An Israeli teen visiting Yosemite National Park fell to his death Wednesday while trying to take a selfie, a report said.
Tomer Frankfurter, 18, a resident of Jerusalem, had been on a two-month trip to the United States when he died, according to Israeli news reports. He apparently died after plunging more than 800 feet after he slipped off a cliff, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Frankfurter’s mother confirmed her son’s death with Israeli’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Times of Israel reported.
The ministry said Wednesday that the teen’s body was being brought back to Israel for burial.
Yosemite National Park is no stranger to rock climbing-related deaths.
