Being a social media business person I can’t overlook the trends in the industry and one of them is #selfie.
It’s an established habit now to take selfies. I have to admit I’n not a lot into this wave but I do it from time to time. Unfortunately, for some of us a selfie is the last thing to be done before a major strategy.
The website viralnova.com published a Top 10 of tragic selfies and here they are:
1. Reggaeton musician Jadiel – Jadiel took this final picture of himself moments before a motorcycle accident claimed his life.

2. Oscar Otero Aguilar – After a drunken night with friends Oscar posed with a gun and tried to take a selfie. The gun accidentally went off, killing him.
