A man fell off a cliff to his death on Christmas day while apparently distracted by his cell phone.

Bill Bender with San Diego Lifeguards at Sunset Cliffs told NBC San Diego: 'Witnesses stated seeing someone distracted by an electronic device and he just fell over the edge.

'(He) wasn't watching where he was walking, he was looking down at the device in his hands.'

He was declared dead at the scene, the television station reported.

NBC San Diego reported the victim was in his thirties and plummeted 60 feet.

Bender told the NBC affiliate station, referring to three people who tried to assist: 'They acted quickly, they found a way to get down the cliff.

'They put themselves at jeopardy... They administered CPR to the person in attempt to save a life.'

The man's device was possibly a phone or camera, according to NBC San Diego.

I've seen a woman walk into a door, because she was Sooo engrossed in what was on her cellphone screen. And I have witness a woman walking to the store, stop in the parking lot, and start texting...and was still in the same spot after I had finished and came out---which was about 20 mins.

[Croatch]

Beautiful.  This made my day...bravo, bravo.  Encore!
If I had immunity, I would thoroughly enjoy smashing people in the face, as they walk and text.
Generation nothing.

How did I know you were going to chime in with something so cliche as "Generation Nothingness."

This reminded of Manhattan bus trip I took, when a woman across from me wouldn't STFU. This was pre-IPod days. So, I couldn't drown her out with music. Moreover, it wasn't worth a 20 year jail stint to do what I wanted to do. So, I had to endure it.

When getting of the bus, she continued on with the conversation, tripped on the steps and fell on her face.

Needless to say, it made my day.

Good, we need more of these cell phone morons to off themselves.  I know the area well, that's quite a nasty drop.

I want to invite an app that detects when someone is walking toward the end of a cliff or mountain. The app will be able to detect when someone is coming close to a major decline in height.

I may have to contact Goodrum about this. He is a business mogul.

I don't mind that, as it puts no ones life in danger.

But its stupid to cross streets while on your cell phone.

he fell 2 feet (ish) for every year he lived because because 2x30(ish) = approx 60.

Getbiggers have always been solid mathematicians.

Still sad that his life ended this way. People need to get off their cell phones when walking!

mortally timed unposted tweets are the biggest tragedy of this generation.

ya gotta wonder if the first paramedics on the scene are tempted to click "send" just to complete that person's incredible legacy.
