A young man has met his death after attempting a dangerous selfie.
The unnamed 21-year-old climbed on top of a train in Andujar, southern Spain, when he hauled himself onto the roof with a pal to take the high-risk pic.
Believing that the parked train was not powered, he accidentally touched a wire that electrocuted him, throwing him off the train.
Emergency services who rushed to the scene had to wait until the electricity supply at local stations was cut before they could reach him.
However, he was declared dead at the scene.
His pal was also badly electrocuted but survived the shock and remains at a hospital in a serious condition.
