Xenia Ignatyeva, a bright 17-year-old, had a keen interest in photography, and most of her times were spent in interesting places capturing memories from her cherished camera. For one of her adventurous escapades, she chose the top of the rail bridge in Krasnogvardeysky, St. Petersburg, Russia from where she wanted to take a breath-taking photograph of herself, but regretfully came face to face with the end of her life.

She had ascended the bridge alone, with one of her friends waiting for her at the bottom of the bridge. Reportedly, once she reached the top of the bridge, she slipped and fell; at some point she had desperately tried to hold onto a live-wire which electrocuted her with a 1500 V of fatality, and she landed a 30-feet fall.
