Tributes paid to 'dedicated and talented' dentist who tragically died after falling 130ft from Scottish mountain
A man who was out hiking with his sons reportedly fell 130ft to his death from one of the flanks that leads to Ben Nevis.
The 66-year-old man, who has been named locally as Nathan Turner, was on the Carn Mor Dearg Arete in Scotland when the tragedy happened on Sunday.
The Daily Record reported that the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team sent 10 members after being called out around noon but the cloud conditions improved enough to allow a coastguard helicopter to retrieve the man’s body and his fellow walkers.
Iain Murray, leader of Lochaber MRT, said he fell "a considerable distance in a very steep place".
He added: "I believe he had two of his sons with him and so this is particularly tragic event for them.”
Tributes have since flooded in for the dentist, who was a former pupil at Regis School, Tettenhall, and studied dental surgery at the University of Liverpool.
He worked at Clent Dental Care, in Hagley, which said the dental clinic would be closed today as a mark of respect.
A message posted by the dental practice on Facebook said: "It is with a heavy heart that we are informing you of the recent passing of Dr Nathan Turner.
