A teenage TikTok star has tragically fallen to her death while taking a selfie at a waterfall in a “heartbreaking” incident.

The 14-year-old, Moe Sa Nay, was a rising star on the TikTok app before she lost her life while attempting to take a photo at a waterfall.

The tragedy took place on Monday, July 22, when Moe visited the Sinywa Waterfall in the town of Paung, Myanmar, with a friend.

Trying to take the pic with her friend, both girls fell but her friend was able to drift to land and survived with minor injuries.

Unfortunately, Moe became pinned between two large boulders in the water and, as the current got stronger, the young star drowned.

It took a rescue team time to dislodge her body and they weren’t able to initially retrieve it.

Her body was left in the water overnight and the following day, authorities had no choice but to tie ropes around her wrists in order to dislodge her body and retrieve it from the water.

A rescue worker named Mon Zaw commented on the death after Moe’s body was taken to Paung Township General Hospital for a post-mortem.

He said: “The one who slipped reached the bottom, but died after getting stuck between the rocks. She died because she couldn’t get out. They tried to rescue her, but couldn’t pull her out. Then the aid organizations and officials came.”

People took to TikTok to share their condolences for Moe’s passing, with one user writing: “It’s so heartbreaking, may she rest in peace.”

Another said: “It’s so heartbreaking to hear about this loss. Life is precious, be careful.”

A third person wrote: “May her soul rest in peace.”

And a fourth user added: “I’m so sorry for the family’s loss.”

This isn’t the first fatal incident to take place at a waterfall in Myanmar.

In a similar incident in 2019, two 19-year-old women died after falling at the Taw Naw Waterfall in Kayin, southeast Myanmar.

At the time, the Global New Light of Myanmar reported that they were taking photos at the top of the waterfall when they fell 60 meters to their deaths.

In March, an 11-year-old died after he took part in a TikTok “chroming” challenge with friends where people inhale toxic chemicals to experience a high.

Afterwards, his family urged for TikTok to be banned in the interest of safety for young people.
