A British tourist has died after falling 30ft from an Indian temple while he was reportedly taking a selfie. The man, named locally as Roger Stotesbury, 58, is thought to have been on a year-long round the world ‘gap year’ with his wife Hilary when the tragedy happened.
Local sources said he was standing on the edge of a terrace at Lakshmi Temple, in Orchha in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh to get a selfie photo. Onlookers said he ‘suddenly slipped and fell from a height of 30ft’ to the ground, at 4pm on Saturday. Video footage and photographs captured soon after show him being stretchered away from the steps outside the 17th century temple.
A woman believed to be his wife Hilary, 59, can be seen walking alongside her husband, who appears to be conscious. The couple, understood to be from Buckingham, are thought to have embarked on their round the world trip in November 2016.
