I realize saying this makes me a dick, but the thought of dying due to a 'selfie' makes me laugh. If there is an afterlife, I can imagine the following conversation:

Angel at Admissions: How did you die?

Person 1: Fending of militants trying to throw acid on women walking to school.

Person 2: Of old age surrounded by loved ones after a life well lived.

Person 3: I'm a kid who was forced to do mining and died in a tunnel collapse on my 11th birthday.

Person 4: (mumbling) Trying to take a cool selfie.

Also, did that shock you that more people did not die due to selfies while driving?

I thought the whole article was going to be about selfies while driving before I read it.
