Couple dies taking cliff selfie

A vacation to Portugal ended in tragedy on Saturday after a couple plunged to their death while taking photos on a cliff.

The couple, who were in Portugal's Cabo da Roca, were apparently taking selfies with their children when they fell off the edge of a cliff. Their bodies were recovered Sunday after weather conditions impeded rescue attempts the night before. Portuguese authorities are investigating the tragedy, and the couple's two children, aged 5 and 6, are staying with Polish diplomats and visiting psychiatrists.
