A young woman plunged to her death last week after reportedly tripped over her own flip-flops while trying to take a photo of the Southern California shoreline.

Authorities say Lorena Barrera was in the San Pedro area of Los Angeles Friday when she reportedly climbed a three-foot wall that keeps visitors back from the precipice.

While making her way to the cliffside, authorities believe the 21-year-old tripped over her flip-flops before tumbling 100-feet to her death, KCBS reports.

Barrera's body was discovered at the bottom by the Los Angeles Fire Department. The LAFD told reporters that Barrera's friends made an effort to save her but lost her their grip.

Her family has created a GoFundMe page to pay tribute to a woman they called a "Beloved Daughter, Sister, Auntie and Exceptional Friend."

"She passed over in such an unexpected and horrific way. Lorena was visiting her hometown of LA from Reno Nevada," wrote Luz Dorantes. "She was Life! In that one word the Most Lively Positive vibrant and Shinning Being .Always lend a helping hand and words of encouragement to anyone in need."

Dorantes said she hopes the GoFundMe campaign will help Barrera get the goodbye she and her loved ones deserve.

"Wana [sic] be able to send the Body back to her Loved ones...please help us MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!AND GIVE HER A PROPER GOODBYE!!!"

do I dare say insurance scam?

Gotta love when the first thing they do is create a gofundme page for someone's death...

how is some random dumbass falling news ?

Seems like this happens more often now that everyone has a camera on them at all times.

Another SRD, selfie related death..

Probably not the falling part that was newsworthy, but the splat and dead part..

Dare I say it?

Post pics or it didn't happen!

Have to say I really don't care at all.

You're kind of late with the news aren't you. I like my news fresh like proper goat dung.

I bet she squealed like a pig all the way down.

People fall off Southern California cliffs all of the time in search of that perfect sunset picture.

It would be a more catchy news if they included in the post the exact photos that she took at that moment

why I moved to Montana !!

Darwin Award indeed ...

Yep, something wrong there

:thumbsup

3k$ raised. South Gate? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
They could give Peter Bronson and friends some lessons in gofundme scams.

She died. Everyone who dies is news for brasshat. The guy is the fucking digital undertaker.

She had the fatal trifecta: Fat, Stupid, & Clumsy

true :1orglaugh
