PHOTOS: Girl jumps to to her death from Guangxi bridge as onlookers take pictures

A girl lept off a bridge and died in Guangxi last Saturday while dozens of onlookers and some police officers were on site.

The girl was standing on the edge of the bridge, surrounded by crowds busily taking pictures with their phones.

The girl talked on her phone for two minutes before jumping off the bridge. Reportedly no one present at the scene attempted to talk to her.

A witness said he heard someone talking on the phone asking a nearby boat to help rescue the girl.

A small civilian boat without any rescue equipment tried to approach the girl but failed continually, merely circling around her and she thrashed around in the water.

After struggling for ten minutes, the girl eventually sank lifeless beneath the surface, then drifted away and disappeared.
