A BRITISH climber was killed by lightning
« on: June 23, 2011, 06:32:26 PM »
Hi
quote : A friend said of Mr Pridmore’s death at about 2pm on Tuesday: “It’s just too shocking.

“The family are in absolute shock that he has died in this way. They can’t come to terms with it.”

is this report for real ?

You can never be sure with the Express and other papers like it.

It is a genuine report, It was on our TV news journal  on the 21st (the day it happened).  He was with 7 other walkers.    There have been some dreadful storms up and down ...the mountains and the heat contribute to these violent outbursts.   However, the French news reported the death with a lot more decorum than the Express  ......  typical Desmond rag !
