Young Briton dies in mountain fall
04.08.09
A British student fell to his death during a camping trip with friends in Spain.
Andrew Lucas was on a walking holiday with friends in the Picos de Europa mountain range, about 150 miles north of Madrid, when the accident happened last Thursday.
The 17-year-old from Lincolnshire is understood to have fallen more than 3,000 feet into a gorge after slipping off a path at a beauty spot.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm the death of Andrew Lucas in Madrid on July 30 2009.
"Full consular assistance is being provided to his family."
