More people have died by taking selfies this year

Since 2014, there have been 127 reported incidents where people died taking a selfie in a dangerous situation or place. So far, 2016 has been the deadliest on record with 73 reported deaths.

But now a team of computer science experts from Carnegie Mellon University believe they have found a way to prevent selfie deaths from happening. After noticing a slew of news reports in the summer of 2015 about the phenomenon, Ponnurangam Kumaraguru of the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology and his colleagues decided to come up with a solution.
