Moorthy and her husband, Vishnu Viswanath, 29, who were Indian expats living in California, fell to their deaths in Yosemite National Park last week while taking a selfie, the man’s brother said Tuesday. A study published this month in the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care said 259 people had died taking selfies between October 2011 and November 2017. More than 10 people have died at Yosemite this year, some from natural causes and others from falls, park spokesman Scott Gediman said. Cisco India said Viswanath was a software engineer at the company’s San Jose, California, headquarters in Silicon Valley. In a post from July 2017, the couple celebrated their wedding anniversary by skydiving in Santa Barbara, California.
