The Indian student who fell to his death at the Cliffs of Moher had been on a photo tour of Ireland, it has been revealed.

The Independent reports that Trinity College student Anand Goel, 26, had recently documented visits to Killarney, Wexford, and Galway on his Instagram page prior to his tragic death.

On Friday, January 4, Goel fell some 600 feet to his death from the Cliffs of Moher while attempting to take a selfie at the popular Irish tourist attraction. Gardai are not treating his death as suspicious, and are working to repatriate Goel's body to his native India.
