When sender is UITableViewCell, you may ask UITableView to query indexPath of the cell.

    override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
        if let cell = sender as? UITableViewCell {
            let indexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForCell(cell)!
            assert(segue.destinationViewController.isKindOfClass(DetailViewController))
            let detailViewController = segue.destinationViewController as! DetailViewController
            detailViewController.item = self.items[indexPath.row] // like this
        }
    }
