Woman falls to death from 100-feet cliff in Turkey moments after boyfriend proposes

A woman in Turkey slipped and plunged to her death off a cliff, a few minutes after her boyfriend proposed to her.

The newly-engaged woman and her husband-to-be, were about to celebrate the momentous occasion with a sunset picnic when the 39-year-old Yesim Demir plummeted over 100 feet off the steep cliff.

The incident happened in Canakkale, a city in northwestern Turkey, on July 6, reported The New York Post.

Yesim’s fiancé, Nizamettin Gursu, had returned to their car after popping the question to retrieve the celebratory food and drinks when he heard her scream.

Gursu rushed back to the cliffside spot and discovered Yesim had fallen over the edge.

He told local media the pair chose this place to get engaged as they found it romantic.

“We chose it to have a romantic memory after the proposal. We drank some alcohol. Everything happened at once. She lost her balance and fell down,” Gursu said.

Gursu promptly called for help, but after 45 minutes of resuscitation efforts, medics declared his wife-to-be dead.
