A young woman from Andhra Pradesh drowned after she accidentally slipped and fell off a waterfall in the US. The woman is reported to have slipped while taking a selfie with her fiance.
Polavarapu Kamala and her finace had made a stop at the Bald River Falls while returning home after a visit to her relatives in Atlanta. The couple reportedly slipped and fell off the waterfall while talking a selfie.
While the man was rescued, Ms Kamala was reportedly found lying unconscious near a log. Rescuers performed prolonged CPR on her but could not revive her.
Efforts are now being made to bring back the body to India. Her parents were understandably shocked at the tragic developments.

"The Telugu Association has said they will help bring the body home," her father said. Kamala's younger sister is married and settled in Chennai.
The family lives in Gudlavaleru in Krishna district. After her graduation, Kamala went to the US and was working with a software company.
