A 29-year-old man from Ireland died on Wednesday from injuries sustained the previous day in a fall at the Bansko mountain ski resort in southern Bulgaria.
The tourist was seriously injured after falling on Tuesday from a height of about 1,900 feet.
He was found by a mountain rescue service team and taken to a hospital in the nearby town of Razlog in a serious condition with multiple injuries, emergency services said.
According to initial information, the victim was part of a group taking pictures of the surrounding scenery when he lost his balance and fell.
He was taken to a hospital where “life-saving measures were taken, and a full assessment of his injuries was carried out.
“But despite all efforts of our medical team, he eventually succumbed to his grave injuries,” Dr Valentin Belchev said.
