THIS is the chilling last selfie taken of a group of pals moments before their boat capsized leaving seven drowned and another feared dead.
The young men were seen on Facebook Live laughing and joking but were so engrossed in filming, they didn't realise their boat was tipping over.
Just second later, tragedy struck and the group sunk while on the Mangrul Lake in Nagpur, India, on Sunday night.
Seven of the men – all aged between 18 and 27 – drowned while one is still missing.
Chandra Bhadure, the senior Inspector from Kalmeshwar police station in Nagpur said: "The guys had got onto a small boat.
"They were so engrossed in taking selfies and doing the live-streaming in Facebook that they forgot that all of them had come to one corner of the boat.
"That would be capsize as a result of the imbalance caused by the uneven weight put on one side.
"India has become the capital of selfie death in the world, but our people still continue to risk their life and limb for a selfie.”
