WEDNESDAY, 25 APRIL 2007
A twenty year old man whose name was not released yet died after plunging into a river while on a rafting trip in Spain. He was reported to have fallen into the river while water rafting with two other friends in southern Pyrenees.
Mountain rescue teams along with helicopter were sent to the area after one of the victim's friends called for help at around 4:30 in the afternoon. When the crew reached the area, the man was already dead and pulled out the body in the freezing water. The dead man's friends who were at the age of 25 to 30 were treated for shock at the scene.
The victim was believed to have come from Shrewsbury but have been living in Spain. The death is the second of a British tourist in the Pyrenees this month.
