29-year-old Dimitrina Dimitrova and her boyfriend were on top of a cliff when he proposed to her. And once she said yes and jumped up and down in excitement, the woman lost her balance and fell 20 meters to the water.
According to an emergency response team, who came to the scene of the accident minutes after, Dimitrina survived the fall but suffered a heart attack and internal injuries that caused her death. "Everything is pointing towards the death being the result of a tragic freak accident," a local Civil Guard spokesman said.
It was later discovered that Ms Dimitrova had arrived in the region two days earlier to spend time with her boyfriend. What made this incident even more dramatic is that the man, who is working on the Spanish island, specifically chose the cliff's edge for its romance and spectacular view.
Several months ago, a similar accident happened in Portugal when a couple fell to their death while taking a selfie at a cliff's edge in the popular tourist spot Cabo da Roca.
