Probably should simply group the selfie deaths to all other deaths associated with distracted use of smartphones, including stepping off curb against a red light directly into the path of a car already in the intersection, walking into a street sign stunning oneself and therefore falling into the path of an oncoming car, texting while driving and losing control, etc.

All examples of the Darwin Principle in action.
