Edwin, like many other 15-year-olds, was fanatic about posting self-portraits on social media and gaining attention from friends, and to take his next selfie he went to a railway track at Kolompadam with his brother Godwin and a few other mates.

He wanted to take a selfie standing on the railway track while a speeding train approached him, planning to move away at the exact second, but his calculations went wrong. Before he could move away, the train hit him. His fellow companions almost lost their consciousness when they saw this horrific incident; Edwin was carried off to the hospital where he was soon pronounced as dead.
